Package: lintian
Version: 2.114.0
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
in #967083, someone requested that the lintian depends on lzip should be
changed into an alternative depends on 'lzip | clzip' with the
justification, that the submitter prefered clzip as his
lzip-implementation-of-choice (for memory footprint reasons).
I'm maintaining all lzip related packages in Debian and there's a set of
provides by all lzip compressors/decompressors packages since the jessie
release in place.
May I therefore ask to have the current 'lzip | clzip' depends to be
changed into either one of these:
if only decompression is used:
'lzip | lzip-decompressor'
if only compression is used:
'lzip | lzip-compressor'
if both copmression and decompression is used:
'lzip | lzip-alternative'
This will smoothly allow using any of the packages of the lzip family to
be used, most notably the one I prefer: plzip (fully parallel version)
Regards,
Daniel
