Package: gzip
Version: 1.10-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

Dear Maintainer,

the stock package from testing provides a broken gzip binary which will produce
corrupt output that fails CRC checks. Compiling the plain 1.10 sources generates
a working gzip binary.

The issue seems to be caused by

> DEB_CPPFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND := -DUNALIGNED_OK

in debian/rules. After commenting the line and rebuilding the package properly,
gzip works as expected. gzip-1.9-3 from stable obviously works as well.

Please let me know if I can assist in any way during the resolution of this 
issue.

Cheers,
Jörg
