http://www.netspace.net.au/~reiter/e2compr/intro.html :

	I wouldn't use e2compr on a ``production'' machine (where
	neither faults nor delays are tolerated).

if there were indication that it was ready to stabalize and be ready for
prime time, then add it to unstable and wait for bugreports (make it an
option, of course).
