Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. I have decided to tag this bug as "wontfix". While it seems attractive at first glance to support this, a lot of files handled by dh_compress must still use gzip (e.g. manpages and changelogs) so the option would complicate dh_compress to support compressing parts with gzip and part with the compression of choice from the maintainers. Thanks, ~Niels
