I was about to apply your patch, though reading it, I realized that even if the 
compress fails 5 times, the postinst will continue to execute instead of 
returning an error. That's not what we want... So I cannot apply the patch 
as-is.

That's great news indeed. Thanks! Does that mean that if I modify the patch so 
that it exits with error
if the compress fails 5 times in a row then the patch will be ok for you?

I'll start to work on that right now, I don't think it would be too difficult.

(In either case, bear in mind that according to the tests I made, the failures 
are independent, so five failures
in a row is extremely unlikely, like 0.05 to the power of 5).

(BTW: I'll tell you later about some ideas I had to properly diagnose this in 
case we would still want to).

Thanks.
