Sorry, I meant [1]

BTW, it's not a big issue, but I find it cleaner when I have to
repackage a bzip2 tarball to gzip to do:

bunzip2 program.tar.bz2
gzip program.tar

instead of unpackaging it complely and repackaging it again. Thus at
least the MD5 of the tar is maintained. It is not really important
anyway, but I like it more, easier to compare :)
