Hi,
Santiago approached us (pgp-update) about splitting the debian-keyring
from doc-debian because a) the keyring tar ball is currently 256Kb
(36% of doc-debian's installed size) and growing (it may eventually
double in size when I get round to adding a debian-keyring.gpg) and b)
the keyring is up

IIRC that was the case for bzip compression. Bzip2 was rewritten to avoid it.

Today, when installing some packages, I noticed some errors that
I didn't expect. Looking closer, my /etc/group file had been
damaged.
Looking closer, I found a couple of packages (msqld and sudo)
which updated /etc/group in what I would consider an insufficiently
paranoid fashion. While they co

Not as the only format -- even the linux kernel is available in gzipped
tar.
I'm sorry, but the source format is needed in a far wider range of
contexts than the .d

By recompressing things in bzip2, you lose the ability to use pristine
upstream source (since the vast majority of source stills comes in
.tar.gz form).

I think it would be a good idea to teach tar to unpack bzip2 files via
the -z option, just as if it would be gzip. Alternativly one could
teach gzip to use bzip2 for .bz2 archives or teach dpkg to distinguish
between the two.
The main advantage would be that one could use tar.bz2 for deb
