So why not let this issue rest until we have native compression support in Emacs (at which time harddisks are >10TB, so it really doesn't matter anymore to compress .el files :-) If Debian-folks want to compress .el files and it happens to work for Debian, then it's no problem with me. But that is NOT an issue we have to deal with in Emacs for release 22. I DEFINITELY think this is a non-issue which can EASILY wait until AFTER the release (or shall I spell all of it in capital letters)? CAN PEOPLE PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON **FIXING** THE REMAINING ISSUES FOR THE RELEASE, RATHER THAN PROPOSE NEW THINGS THAT WILL **DEFINITELY** CAUSE PROBLEMS ON SOME PLATFORMS.
