Reading it again: # MANCOMPRESSED - This variable can take values "yes", "no" or # "maybe". "yes" means manpages are installed # compressed; "no" means they are not; "maybe" means # it changes depending on the value of # NOMANCOMPRESS. The default is "yes" if USE_IMAKE # is set and NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES is not set, and # "no" otherwise. I have to say it is ambiguous; it says "are installed compressed", not that they are already compressed in the tarball. Maybe I should submit a PR with some re-wording? (OK, if I'd looked at the actual code I would have seen what it really meant, but that is what the explanatory comments are for).
