From https://www.techrepublic.com/article/managing-your-man-pages/:
You can specify man page decompression in the configuration file as well. Some distributions may not by default include support for Bzip2 compressed man pages, and you may want to use it because of the higher compression ratio over GZip. To enable support for Bzip2 compressed man pages, insert into your /etc/man.config file: .bz2 /usr/bin/bzip2 -c -d
To enable support for Gzipped man pages, you would use: .gz /bin/gunzip -c
Of course, make sure the absolute paths are correct for your archiver.
