Points well taken.  You're just asking in the wrong place.  You should take
this up with the gzip upstream maintainer.  It is not a Debian packaging 
issue, it is a request for a fundamental change in the functionality provided
by gzip.  If bzip2 algorithm support were to show up in a future gzip release
I'd be as happy as the next guy. 

If the gzip upstream maintainer doesn't fold in bzip2, then the right solution
is for this to be handled by applications like dpkg-source... not by having 
the Debian gzip functionality diverge from the FSF gzip.
