Hi Guillaume,

Guillaume Le Vaillant <glv@posteo.net> skribis:

> Currently, when package sources are in a '.tar.lz' archive (e.g. ed,

Yes.  There=E2=80=99s not a strong incentive because there are relatively f=
ew
packages distributed as lz files, but we could do that in
=E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
