So, would it be safe to make dpkg-deb default to xz if priority is <
important for wheezy?
My point is, the sooner this change is made, the more of the pre-release
upload spike will benefit from reduced package size. It can be then changed
by either improving debootstrap (unlikely due to old versions) or the
base-ness check.
Also, lintian currently doesn't complain if a base package uses xz. Should
it? This check wouldn't be very useful since priority override is the only
interesting case, though.
