Package: rsync Version: 3.0.4-3 Severity: normal rsync's -z option, to compress data, makes sense for copying over the network. However, when copying locally it serves no useful purpose, and just slows down the copy. rsync should ignore -z when not copying over the network. Optionally, rsync should warn about ignoring it.
