control: retitle -1 Update document for repack and compress The repack does not always repack with gzip anymore. So documentation needs updated accordingly. Some of it has been done in the git repository.
As I read this and think about the current situation, for the non-1.0 format, it may be better to use xz for repack as the default mode. (This is todo) It is known to reduce package size for font packages by going from gz to xz and there are many packages like that. As I understand, automatic repackage is done only for$mime= zip files now with current mk-origtargz. (James' 2013 comment is outdated now.) Some comments in the source code needs to be updated too.
