Summary of Changes
Hello @robert-burger, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
I've implemented a modification to the Debian package build configuration. This change introduces a specific override for the dh_builddeb command within the debian/rules file, ensuring that the generated Debian package utilizes gzip for compression. This aims to standardize the compression method for our .deb packages.
Highlights
- Debian Package Build: I've introduced an override_dh_builddeb target in debian/rules to customize the Debian package build process.
- Compression Method: This override explicitly sets gzip as the compression method for the Debian package using dh_builddeb -- -Zgzip.

Code Review
This pull request overrides the default Debian package compression to use gzip. While this is a valid configuration, I've suggested using zstd instead, as it offers a better balance of compression ratio and speed for modern systems. The change is otherwise correct.

Consider using zstd for compression instead of gzip. zstd offers a much better compression ratio than gzip at similar speeds, and is significantly faster than the default xz compression. Given the debhelper-compat level of 13, target systems should have support for it. This would provide a better balance between package size and build time.1
dh_builddeb -- -Zzstd

Debian packaging best practices recommend choosing a compression algorithm that balances package size, build time, and decompression speed on target systems.
zstdis often recommended for modern systems overgziporxzfor its superior performance characteristics. ↩
