I suppose that could be useful.

Or perhaps better, the ability to select which of the "Packages" is allowed, I 
believe if I could choose e.g. to allow only .bz2 instead of only .gz, this 
would solve the problem without causing other apps to fail, and without 
forgoing pdiffs, just with a small time cost because of bz2 vs gz higher 
complexity.

I couldn't find anything of this sort in its man page.
