Hi!

This source package builds one or more binary packages using the
deprecated compressor bzip2. The default has been xz for a while now
which should usually compress better than bzip2. If instead you'd like
speed then switch to use gzip.

Using a deprecated compressor when building binary packages will
become an error in the near future. Please update the packages.

Thanks,
Guillem
