Bug description:
This patch (unfortunately not yet upstream acepted) is needed on top
of LP 1825350
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gzip/+bug/1825350), and
fixes a serious bug.
It was already developed and published a while ago:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2019-07/msg00000.html
This patch fixes data corruption issues, and thus is very important.
Unfortunately, so far it has been ignored (there is not much going on
on gzip mailing list in general). I would like to ask you to pick it
up for the distro.
