Bug#404099: gzip: [zdiff:manual] DESCRIPTION is too general "...diff..compressed files"

[Jari Aalto]

Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.9-1
Severity: normal

zdiff(1) manual page reads:

  DESCRIPTION
       Zcmp  and  zdiff  are  used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on com-
       pressed files.  All options specified are passed directly to cmp or diff.

The wording "...copressed files is too general". Please state that this
is only for gzip compressed files.

SUGGESTION

  DESCRIPTION
       Zcmp  and  zdiff  are  used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on com-
!       pressed gzip files.  All options specified are passed directly to cmp 
or diff.
