: is AFAIK supported by all Linux filesystems, although in some cases it
comes at the cost of breaking the official spec (iso9660 variants).
On the other hand, it drastically breaks interoperability with Windows, and
there's quite a few scenarios where users may want to carry .debs either
through a Windows system (for example due to lacking means to download a
file) or over media that's accessed from Windows (CD, USB stick).
