The vast majority of the files in this directory are already smaller
than 1K, so gzipping them would be of dubious benefit. It would be
more beneficial to combine the database into a few files, which would
benefit from compression and also save the time spent scanning
directory entries.
It would probably not be useful to combine the {pre,post}{inst,rm}
files because these are handy to have around, but the list, checksum
and conffiles definitely would benefit, from what I can see.
This is really a dpkg issue, and so of little relevance to Deity.
