Bug Description
Binary package hint: bzip2
We almost all use multithreading capable computers. And nearly nothing on linux uses that !
pbzip2 offer a really good solution ! The performances are the same as standard bzip2 on no multi possessors systems. And pbzip2 use exactly the same compression (total compatibility bzip2 -> pbzip2; pbzip2 -> bzip2)
Using pbzip2 directly could show our interest about using the real potential of recent computers.
And can increase slightly the .deb installation performances if we use bzip2 in a future standard. (I am dreaming for that last one ...)
