Re: Suggestion to and how to alow different compression for .debs
There's still problems with using pre-depends to make sure bzip2
is installed. It's not exactly what pre-depends was intended for. It's
not going to be pretty if a user tries to remove bzip2 and dselect shoots
up the dependency/conflict screen and marks every single package that was
bzip2 compressed for removal. It's also specifically warned in the
packaging manual that pre-depends should be used sparingly, for a number
of reasons.
