Hi, 

Given the huge size of all three binary packages of nexuiz-data, you might
want to consider to xz-compress the data.tar parts of the binary packages.

* nexuiz-data goes from ~273 Mb to 255 Mb, 
* nexuiz-music goes from 87.4 Mb to 81 Mb,
* nexuiz-textures goes from 497 Mb to 434 Mb,

so a total gain of 87 Mb of bandwidth to all updating users and mirror space.

Packaging-wise, this change is rather easy, just add:

override_dh_builddeb:
	dh_builddeb -- -Zxz

Cheers,

OdyX
