Could you please mention which ones do not? And if so, how are they
relevant/are they fixable?
Because as long as xz debs are opt-in, no significant part of the archive
will be compressed well, breaking one-CD installs and putting a good deal of
unnecessary strain on mirrors. And we're talking about whooping 1/3 of CD1
being waste.
Special-casing base packages would be a lot of complexity, let's avoid that
if possible -- but still preferred to letting gzip stay.
