Package: checkinstall
Version: 1.6.2-4
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
The default XZ compression is *very* slow for large checkinstall
packages. Checkinstall needs an option to pass flags to dpgk-deb or
another way to select a more appropriate way to generate the .deb file.

Closes: 750028
Changes:
checkinstall (1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-9) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Do not define the 64-bit time entry points where glibc already
renames the ordinary wrappers to them. armhf builds with
_TIME_BITS=64 throughout, so the assembler was given two of each and
the build failed
* Add --debcompression to set what dpkg-deb packs a Debian package with:
gzip, xz, zstd or none. Left unset, the choice stays with dpkg-deb
