Hi

udpkg (the dpkg equivalent within d-i) does only support gziped tarballs. So it 
does not support data.tar.bz2 and similar.

It would be good if there could be an autoreject for these to avoid broken 
daily/weekly images and uninstallable udebs.

Proposal:

Tag: udeb-contains-non-gzip-tarballs
Severity: serious
Info: This udeb contains non-gzip control or data tarballs.
udpkg, debian-installer's dpkg equivalent, does not support non-gzip tarballs 
which means udebs that contain them won't be installable. This can also break 
the daily or weekly d-i images.

Cheers

Luk
