Well, "xz" might be allowed by dak at some point (maybe even in squeeze+1) so it's good to prepare for it IMO. I don't really see what kind of problems you expect. And Debian tools can also be used by derivatives taking different decisions than ftpmasters regarding the set of compression scheme allowed. Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Like what I do?
