+# Because gzip is an essential package, any new dependencies would be a
+# huge big deal (must also be essential, require Pre-Depends handling,
+# etc).  I therefore carefully manage the control file contents, stick to
+# an older debhelper compat level to aid porting and back porting, and am
+# careful to only use specific debhelper tools I understand the effects of.
