In fact this applies to any module source package, since
module-assistant requires module source to be compressed with bzip2, not
gzip.

I'm not sure whether I should fix this bug in rt2500 and the other
Ralink driver packages, or whether module-assistant should be changed to
depend on bzip2 (or to install it along with build-essential).
