Package: gzip Version: 1.3.12-6 Severity: wishlist gzip can save the original filename and timestamp into a gzip file. Right now, it always either omits those (with -n or a pipe) or saves the filename and timestamp of the input file. Please consider adding options to explicitly set the original filename and timestamp, overriding those obtained from the input file. This would make it easier for programs like pristine-gz to precisely recreate a gzip file, without needing to first copy a file to the original name and set its timestamp with utime. In particular, this would make it possible to use gzip on a pipe and still set the filename and timestamp.
