Hi, and thanks for your report.

I've checked with ftpmasters that no priority change happened in this
area lately. It seems it's rather due to the fact acl is still using
bz2 (for legacy reasons apparently; it wasn't switched to xz). Ansgar
should be dealing with this soon (filing a bug etc.).

Mraw,
KiBi.
