You were asking for a package compressed with something els than gzip for testing purposes, I was offering an easy way to get you one from any existing package by repacking using dpkg-deb. Still that will not give you testing coverage for all valid .debs, like having members starting with _ inbetween the mandatory ones, additional members afterwards, etc. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
