Package: gzip-win32
Version: 1.12-1
Tags: patch
Dear gzip maintainers,
could you please stop building the package gzip-win32?
`debian-installer` stopped depending on gzip-win32 in 2020. It has since
been removed from the list of build dependencies. See commit
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/win32-loader/-/commit/650f33f6 .
A nice side effect of not building gzip-win32 as part of gzip will be to
greatly simplify the bootstrap of the essential set, as it would remove
mingw-w64 from the list of required dependencies.
A patch to fix this issue can be found as the last commit of the branch
https://salsa.debian.org/gioele/gzip/-/tree/win32-remove
