Now if I compare with the *armel* package, /usr/share/man/man8/pam_mkhomedir.8.gz is different from *both* amd64 and i386, and pam_shells.8.gz matches the i386 one.

Recompressing the amd64 pam_shells.8.gz with gzip -9nf on amd64 gives the same file as on i386. Recompressing pam_mkhomedir with the amd64 gzip gives the original file. Recompressing pam_mkhomedir with the armel gzip gives the version of the file found on amd64 and i386.

And gzip hasn't changed in the archive since August 2010, and zlib hasn't changed since Mar 2011.
