Well the packaging in that version does not help. See below.

What he did was repack the .deb, which makes use of the default
settings instead of the ones supplied by the packaging, i.e.:
,---
override_dh_builddeb:
dh_builddeb -- -Zxz -z9
`---
This is rather unwise, for no apparent reason. The -z9 seems to be a
common pattern in most (if not all) of Daniel's packages, and I think
should be reverted, if absent of a good rationale.

Reassigning back, this would need fixing in a stable release. But given
that this is a Priority:standard package, I'd say it makes sense to do
so.
Thanks,
