I didn't know about this patch. There is also a bug on Ubuntu (54180), but it
looks like nothing has moved.

So let's hope we will have it someday.

BTW, about compression, we just have gzip. Where is LZMA? It would be useful
on slow links (e.g., all ADSL uplinks) :-)

Maybe extra ciphers and compressions could be handled as plugins.
