From aa00b3c1e8eb3ce2dbe4425a492240c2d54e5153 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Baumann Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2021 03:26:30 +0100 Subject: Updating README.Debian to reflect removal of lzd from lzip alternatives as it doesn't provide the '--test' parameter to verify compressed file integrity (which now is the base-line requirement for all lzip variants providing alternatives).
