Package: evince
Severity: wishlist

It is typical for documentation provided by Debian in /usr/share/doc
to be compressed with gzip (unless it is very small), including PDF
documentation.  This means that one cannot view Debian documentation
directly in Evince -- one first has to uncompress the PDF manually in
some writable area.  For example:

  zcat /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.pdf.gz >/tmp/x.pdf &&
  evince /tmp/x.pdf

This is tedious.  I would like evince to include this functionality
internally, so that I can simply run

  evince /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.pdf.gz

The gv program behaves in this way for .ps.gz files.
