Package: bzip2
Version: 1.0.3-6
Followup-For: Bug #121851

I suggest that you stop shipping bzless. lessfile and lesspipe work
better; their only disadvantage is that they don't try to decompress
files not ending in .bz2, but I don't think this is important.

Further, by using lesspipe/lessfile one can use the ~/.lessfilter
feature, which is incompatible with bzless, which overrides LESSOPEN.

Hence, unless one works with compressed files without a .bz2 suffix,
lesspipe/lessfile is a better choice, and I think not having bzless
would help to make this more obvious to users, and stop them using an
inferior solution.

If you think that bzless should be retained, then please mention
lessfile/lesspipe in bzless(1).
