Please remove + the call and let dpkg-deb(1) select suitable defaults. + . + Custom compression settings are usually chosen for one of two + reasons: + . + Higher compression levels or more advanced algorithms shrink the + sizes of large files, but they can cause problems in the resource + constrained environments used in Debian's buildd infrastructure. + For example, higher than expected memory consumption may trigger + an FTBFS or a failure to install. + . + Lower compression levels or less advanced algorithms are sometimes + needed to support older Debian version. Unfortunately, they also + make it harder to change the defaults on an archive-wide basis. + . + Some legitimate use cases trigger this tag. Please override it. +See-Also: Bug#829100, Bug#906614, Bug#909696, dpkg-deb(1) |
