Bug#294969: gzip -v -l : please declare if original name and timestamp is available

[A Mennucc]

Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.5-9
Severity: minor


hi

if I compress a file with  'gzip -n file'
  the original timestamp and name are not recorded 

still if I use   'gzip -v -l file.gz'
gzip will happily list a timestamp and a original filename
(deduced from the current name and from the current timestamp)

so it is impossible to know if  'gzip -n file' or 
 'gzip  file'  was used

a.
