Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.0 Severity: important File: /usr/bin/dpkg-deb The linux maintainers chose to pass -Zgzip -z0 to dpkg-deb to retain backwards compatibility. Unfortunately the resulting binary package does not conform to the format documented at man 5 deb. It contains a data.tar.gz memeber, that is not a valid gzip file. dpkg-deb should produce the correct extension for uncompressed data members.
