Bug Description
Viewing attached DpkgTerminalLog.gz et al. attachments is cumbersome in many browsers, and impossible on many mobile devices. Launchpad could easily provide a link to something which decompresses compressed attachments and shows them as text/plain or similar.

I think this is more of a question for the LP Foundations team. They can certainly feel free to kick back to me if they don't think so. My reasoning is thinking that something like mod_gzip or mod_deflate would allow us to transparently do this. Maybe I'm completely wrong and those modules only serve plain text files as compressed.
At any rate, the Foundations team should be more qualified to respond to these type of questions and as to how possible doing something like this is for the librarian.
