Is there any chance of having [optional] bzip2 support added to dpkg-dev & friends support in the future? The space savings are _considerable_ and bzip2 is not exactly bleeding edge anymore. I know that bzip2 is somewhat slower, but it still would save me time, given that downloads would be faster. (I'm behind a 64K ISDN dialup).
