Hi!

With dpkg 1.21.14, the Dpkg::Compression module got some improvements,
the one that seems relevant to dgit, is that you can now fetch the
command-line to execute from a Dpkg::Compression getter instead of
having to create a Dpkg::Compression::Process object. With
compression_get_cmdline_decompress().

Thanks,
Guillem

Hi.  Cool, thanks!

We have a very conservative approach to using new interfaces in dgit,
because we want dgit to be easy to get working on old systems, and
ideally for it to be easy to get a *new* dgit working.  So we probably
won't change this for at least one or two Debian release cycles.

Thanks,
Ian.
