Package: gzip
Version: 1.2.4-33
Severity: wishlist

Native support of the --rsyncable option would be very handy IMHO. It
significantly improves rsync performance on files compressed with the option
and could be very useful in minimising download times for debs over slow links.

Check out:

http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2001-January/003511.html

for more information. If you don't think this is suitable for gzip then I'll
consider making another package that contains the added functionality...
perhaps rgzip?

Description: 
 gzip       - The GNU compression utility
Closes: 116183 118118 134741
Changes: 
 gzip (1.3.5-4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * merge patch from Rusty Russell that adds --rsyncable option to gzip.
     This modifies the output stream to allow rsync to transfer updated .gz
     files much more effectively.  The resulting .gz files should be compatible
     with the existing gunzip.  The plan is that if this works out well for
     Debian, the functionality will be included in a future upstream gzip
     release.  Closes: #116183, #118118, #134741
