Package: alien
Version: 8.88
Severity: minor
Hi!
The Alien/Package/Deb.pm file has fallback code to be used whenever
dpkg-deb is not available, but this code using ar does not support any
other data.tar member beside data.tar.gz, as described in deb(5). The
missing ones are:
data.tar
data.tar.xz
data.tar.bz2
data.tar.lzma (deprecated)
You might want to add support for those, but if no one else has asked
for it before, I'm not sure how much that code is being used?
Thanks,
Guillem
