I hope this will be a correct package now, and that I won't have any change to do to it (well, there's always that bug...). Seriously, I tested it with compress sources from three different packages without problems.

(Fixes bug #4079.) * make-cpkg now supports the specification of the makefile to use and of the build, install and clean targets in the local Makefile. * Completed documentation for make-cpkg, including a section describing the targets. * Remove any gzip or gunzip command eventually installed by the package (just in case...) * Generate a base package xxx without any of the historic commands provided by gzip, and eventually generate a xxx-historic package with these commands. (Fixes bug #4057.) * If the base package xxx does provide more than the compress command, generate a replacement package xxx-basic with only the compress command. * Check if a compress command has been installed before building the package. * Packages containing a compress command are in section non-free, historic packages go in contrib. * Edit the compress.1 manual page to warn that only compress actually acts as documented, when necessary. * If the package name would have been 'compress', change it to 'bsd-compress' so that an eventual 'bsd-compress-historic' would depend on 'bsd-compress' and not on the virtual compress package.
