Bug#833224: perl-byacc: Uses obsolete compressor for .deb data.tar member



Source: perl-byacc
Source-Version: 2.0-8
Severity: important
User: debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org
Usertags: dpkg-obsolete-deb-data-tar-compressor

Hi!

This source package builds one or more binary packages using the
deprecated compressor bzip2. The default has been xz for a while now
which should usually compress better than bzip2. If instead you'd like
speed then switch to use gzip.

Using a deprecated compressor when building binary packages will
become an error in the near future. Please update the packages.

Thanks,
Guillem
