Package: pristine-tar
Version: 0.14
Severity: normal

I have $GZIP set in my ~/.bashrc to "-9". As a result zgz and thus
pristine-tar fails to work because it adds -9 to the start of its own
command line options, checks for --gnu / --zlib at the start of its
options (moved by the handling of $GZIP) and then calls getopt, which
does not know about the --gnu and --zlib options.

Moving the environment variable handling to after the --gnu / --zlib
handling prevents the error, but gives different tarballs when GZIP is
set to when it is unset (xgalaga was my test case).

I'm not sure what the right thing to do is, but maybe deleting the GZIP
environment variable is the right way to go since otherwise the data
will be different?
