I see more and more software being offered in .tar.bz2 format (e.g. kernel,
egcs), which appears to be a lot more space efficient for source code.
I'd like to request that our policy wrt sources be extended to accept
.tar.bz2 too. (This entails modifying dinstall, dupload, dpkg-source and
possibly other tools.)
[Note: I know that the space efficiency imposes a memory penality when
unpacking, but I believe most people who are interested in sources work on
systems where this is not an issue.]
