Lintian tag information: uses-no-compression-for-data-tarball (type: error)

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The data portion of this binary package uses a non-compressed format.
Although dpkg will support extracting such binary packages since dpkg
1.10.24, creating them is not advised except in special cases.

Except if data is non-compressible, use gzip for maximum compatibility and
speed, and xz for maximum compression ratio.

Please refer to the deb(5) manual page for details.
