Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.2
Severity: minor

Kernel: Linux 2.6.6
Locale: LANG=da_DK, LC_CTYPE=da_DK
Versions of packages lintian depends on:

ii diffstat 1.34-1 produces graph of changes introduc
ii file 4.09-1 Determines file type using "magic"
ii gettext 0.14.1-2 GNU Internationalization utilities
ii man-db 2.4.2-16 The on-line manual pager
ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl] 5.8.4-2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction

When building packages with small changelog files, the file will not be
compressed with gzip.
lintian then comes with an error, that the changelog should be compressed
with gzip -9
