Some Linux distribution have internal mechanism to compress documentation files. Thus they expect the installed documentation to be not compressed.
For instance, the following warning is obtained on Gentoo:
* QA Notice: One or more compressed files were found in docompress-ed
* directories. Please fix the ebuild not to install compressed files
* (manpages, documentation) when automatic compression is used:
*
* /usr/share/doc/modules-5.6.0/ChangeLog.gz
For such distribution, an installation option to avoid ChangeLog file to be compressed is welcomed
