Package: compress-package, ncompress
Version: 1.3-1, 4.2.4-2

Those 2 packages seem to provide the 'compress' program.

Maybe we could consider droping one of these packages (or merging them).

NB1: compress-package is orphaned.

NB2: interestingly enough, compress-package is in section "contrib", 
while "ncompress" is in "non-free".

compress-package is just an installer, similiar to the netscape
package.

Hmm. I *think* compress-package is simply a package that automates building
a compress binary. (Like kernel-package does for the kernel.) Don't know
about ncompress, though. But then I use neither, so I could be wrong.

The xfnt* packages need it to build, and the uucp packages need it as
not everybody uses gzip.  (I'm pretty sure that the next version of
XFree, now in binary-only beta test, can use gzipped fonts.)

The xfnt* packages need it to build, and the uucp packages need it as
not everybody uses gzip.  (I'm pretty sure that the next version of
XFree, now in binary-only beta test, can use gzipped fonts.)

Perhaps installer packages should be named "xxx-installer" where xxx
