Package: libdar2
Version: 2.2.1-1
Severity: important

libdar2 is compiled with
 Integer size used          : unlimited
According to http://dar.sourceforge.net/doc/Limitations.html#Integers
it should be ok to use "only" the 64 bit integer support (configure option
--enable-mode=64) without breaking compatibility with other versions. I want to
suggest doing so since on older hardware memory comsumption is a serious issue.
 
E.g. I experienced a cut in memory usage of about 50% when using a self compiled
dar with 64 bit integer support compared to the packaged dar.
