The HTML files are not rebuilt because the corresponding .m files (for
which they are the documentation) are not included in the original
tarball. This is an upstream bug (confirmed and fixed in upstream's
CVS). 

The PDF files are strange. When rebuilding the documentation, we end up
with colour graphs, whereas the original graphs are black & white. Thus
the change in size (they become > 4kb) which leads to dh_compress
compressing them.
