Note that eu-elfcompress does the same. Not that it really should matter which tool does it. Currently find-debuginfo.sh uses tools from both binutils and elfutils, it might be nice to only depend on one set of tools (my preference would obviously be to migrate everything to the elfutils toolset). There is also zlib-gnu, the older, pre-standard, compression. Dunno if we want to support that too. > The two modes of compression can be used independently, so we can use one, or > the other, or both. I do think that this is a nice option to have in theory.

Could you double check we don't actually need that id? Also, is there really no distro that is contemplating to use this? If not, then maybe it is better to not add the extra complexity till someone really wants it.
