[Wylug-help] I broke my man files

I was trying to get text versions of them, forgot to work on copies
instead of the originals, and I think I overwrote them with ungzipped
versions:

$ man ls
gzip: /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz: not in gzip format

$ head /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz
.\" DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE!  It was generated by help2man 1.33.
.TH LS "1" "September 2005" "ls (coreutils) 5.2.1" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
ls \- list directory contents
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ls
[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIFILE\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" Add any additional description here
.PP


Is there any way to fix this? Re-gzip them? Some sort of Debian man page
meta-package?
