Dear Maintainer,

there exist dependency to mingw-w64 build system,
and in label binary-indep is called i686-w64-mingw32-strip.

This is not nice for cross building, where not need any w64 binaries,
and typically the whole build system for i686-w64-mingw32 is never need.

Why was put the build for "gzip.exe" in binary-indep packages for a Linux 
system?

Please remove the dependency mingw-w64 and do not build "gzip.exe".
