Use bz2 not gz for orig.tar ?

[Drew Parsons <dparsons@debian.org>]

Do we have plans for lenny to enable the use of bzip2 instead of gzip
for the upstream orig.tar source tarballs?  Does dpkg/apt support this
already or has this already been thought about?

This would reduce our archive size by some 20% if all packages moved to
bzip2.
