The makefile includes these ...

TARGET = emelfm2
MAN_DIR = $(PREFIX)/share/man/man1
...
install -d $(MAN_DIR)
install -m 644 docs/$(TARGET).1 $(MAN_DIR);
bzip2 -f $(MAN_DIR)/$(TARGET).1;

It might be that checkinstall tries to do its own compression ?
Probably the bzip2 command should be dropped, as distro's may prefer other 
formats.
