Hi Julian, Thanks for your message. I have some considerations.

This is a native source that provides a metapackage. The content of the script isn't for use by final users and this script isn't installed by the package. The script is used by maintainers only to aid to create a control file. After this, the new control file must be double checked to avoid mistakes. Our machines (my machine and Giovani's machine) and ours Debians are compliant with the script. > Instead of relying on internals, please use the interfaces provided by > APT 1.1 and newer: > > ## Command-line interfaces > In order to get paths to index files, please use: > > apt-get indextargets --format '$(FILENAME)' "Created-By: $creator" > > where `$creator` is `Packages`, `Sources`, `Contents-deb`, `Contents-udeb`, > or `Contents-deb-legacy`, depending on which files you need. > > To read the file, use > > /usr/lib/apt/apt-helper cat-file <FILE>... > > This transparently handles compression supported by apt. It is interesting but I think that not applicable. As I said, the script has a special goal and is not destinated to final users. We have a strict control over the packages list, independently of compression or other issues. Can I close this bug? Thanks a lot for your message.
