Source: mysql-5.5
Version: 5.5.24+dfsg-6
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Usertags: xz-for-wheezy

Please use xz compression for the binary packages (patch attached).
We are trying to fit a few more packages on the first CDs to get a
usable desktop install with it, see [1] for more details.

I will request a freeze exception once the package is uploaded; please
keep in mind to not include additional changes.

Please note that I did not test the patch. You can verify that it builds
binaries using xz by looking for the data.tar.xz member in the output of
ar t package.deb. The mysql-server-core-5.5 binary packages should also
be noticeable smaller.

Regards,
Ansgar
