+Tag: uses-deprecated-compression-for-data-tarball
+Severity: error
+Check: deb-format
+Explanation: The data portion of this binary package uses a deprecated compression
+ format. Although dpkg will support extracting such binary packages for
+ the foreseeable future, creating them will eventually be disallowed. A
+ warning is emitted for lzma since dpkg 1.16.4, and for bzip2 since dpkg
+ 1.17.7.
+ .
+ For lzma, xz is the direct replacement. For bzip2 either gzip or xz can
+ be used as a substitute, depending on the wanted properties: gzip for
+ maximum compatibility and speed, and xz for maximum compression ratio.
