I have not seen any comment on this,
but using gzip is indeed way faster.
Some minor comments:
I see some variables staring "KDEB_",
but nothing starting "KPKG_".
masahiro@grover:~/workspace/linux-kbuild$ git grep KDEB_
scripts/Makefile.package:KDEB_SOURCENAME ?= linux-$(KERNELRELEASE)
scripts/Makefile.package:export KDEB_SOURCENAME
scripts/Makefile.package: $(call cmd,src_tar,$(KDEB_SOURCENAME))
scripts/Makefile.package: mv $(KDEB_SOURCENAME).tar.gz
../$(KDEB_SOURCENAME)_$${origversion}.orig.tar.gz
scripts/package/builddeb:# specified in KDEB_HOOKDIR) that will be
called on package install and
scripts/package/builddeb:debhookdir=${KDEB_HOOKDIR:-/etc/kernel}
scripts/package/mkdebian:if [ -n "$KDEB_PKGVERSION" ]; then
scripts/package/mkdebian: packageversion=$KDEB_PKGVERSION
scripts/package/mkdebian:sourcename=$KDEB_SOURCENAME
scripts/package/mkdebian:if [ -n "$KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST" ]; then
scripts/package/mkdebian: distribution=$KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST
scripts/package/mkdebian: echo >&2 "Install lsb-release or set
\$KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST explicitly"
masahiro@grover:~/workspace/linux-kbuild$ git grep KPKG_
Maybe starting KDEB_ seems to be better for consistency?
