Public bug reported:
It's very unintuitive that a compression program deletes its input file.
Afaik `bzip2` and `pbzip2` are the only ones around. It contradicts the
scheme of leaving everything as easy as possible for intuitive usage and
giving advanced users the possibility to eventually do things all in one
step (which would be not deliberately destroying data, but giving an
option to remove files after compression).
