In fact, it has been mentioned (on tar-forum, I believe) that gzip
(the program) will eventually include the bzip2 algorithm...

But in the meantime, it makes sense for dpkg-source to deal (ideally,
by having a set of original files and an explicit map [*not* a general
purpose shell script] of how to unpack them to produce the "orig"
sources.  This map *could* be an extension of the .dsc file, right?)
