Package: debirf Version: 0.35 Severity: wishlist It would be great if xz was used for the compression of the rootfs file, busybox supports running as unxz or xzcat so it should not be a problem.
It will make the initramfs about 35% smaller. I needed to boot from a very small boot medium, and I've worked around it by removing all docs and manpages and unneeded kernel modules, but having a better compression would be much appreciated.
