Fix the %files listing in the spec file. Generally, the easiest way to
capture man pages whether or not they're compressed is something like:
%files
...
/path/to/man/man?/*
Or, if you really wish to enumerate the man pages in the %files listing:
%files
...
/path/to/man/man1/*.1*
/path/to/man/man5/*.5*
...
