Ahh, this is a fair point, since we failed to make everything in the debootstrap set compressed with gzip (which I think was a goal at one point, but a goal we clearly failed to meet). In that case, I have no qualms about adding Packages.xz support to it as well, and updating stable/oldstable as well, so people can use it to debootstrap sid chroots. If no one beats me to it, I'll at least do the sid commits and upload a bit $later, and maybe get to the stables as well. ... Adam
