deb + tar + bzip2 suggestion
I think it would be a good idea to teach tar to unpack bzip2 files via
the -z option, just as if it would be gzip. Alternativly one could
teach gzip to use bzip2 for .bz2 archives or teach dpkg to distinguish
between the two.
The main advantage would be that one could use tar.bz2 for deb
packages without altering dpkg and thereby save a lot of space.
Whats the general opinion about this and is maybe somebody already
working on it?
May the Source be with you.
