Package: bzip2
Version: 1.0.3-6
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/bzip2.1.gz
Panicked me goes directly to this part of the page and reads
RECOVERING DATA FROM DAMAGED FILES
bzip2 compresses files in blocks, usually 900kbytes long. Each
block is handled independently. If a media or transmission error
causes a multi-block .bz2 file to become damaged, it may be
possible to recover data from the undamaged blocks in the file.
Whereupon I think "no hope. I only have 600 kbytes."
Therefore please emphasize that those are 900 kbytes of input, not
compressed output! Also say 900 kbytes not 900kbytes.
True this may be mentioned in other parts of the page, but the
panicked user won't be looking there.
P.S.,
