No one has said that bzip2 should be *required* as a compression format, only a possibility. I see the use in that: I've seen several upstreams shifting from gzip to providing only bzip2 tarballs. In many cases these tarballs are quite small, and I don't see much added value in repackaging those to .gz. Thijs
