Okay, hm. That does seem like some sort of separate bug.
What I was asking about before was if you had tried unpacking the built
*.deb file inside the chroot and then run the file program inside the
chroot on the *.deb file to see if it returned the correct recognition of
a gzip file or if it returned something else. Lintian should just be
calling file.
If the file program in the sid chroot is broken, then this is probably the
same as the existing file bug. If the file that Lintian is using (the one
in the chroot) says it's a gzip'd file, but Lintian thinks it isn't, then
there's some other Lintian bug.
