That's a very good point and something I noticed when I was
investigating this; I ended up re-reading that section of the
packaging guidelines. I'll probably check all my packages to make sure
they don't accidentally say ".gz". Assuming the compression always
adds an extension (can't think why that wouldn't be the case?), I'd
have thought that instead of specifying "%{_mandir}/man1/foo.1*" as
the guidelines suggest, it would be safer to specify
"%{_mandir}/man1/foo.1.*" to ensure it doesn't accidentally pick up an
uncompressed file.
