This was broken in ae87e001b when detection of the downloaded file's
compression switched to using compression_guess_from_filename instead of
custom regexes.
$ perl -MDpkg::Compression -e 'print compression_guess_from_filename("foo.tgz")'
$ perl -MDpkg::Compression -e 'print
compression_guess_from_filename("foo.tar.gz")'
gzip
compression_guess_from_filename() only groks files that end in .gz,
.bz2, .lzma, and .xz. I can see if dpkg is receptive to a patch to also
understand .tgz, .tbz2, etc. but this will need to be fixed in the
interim.
