severity: wishlist

Hi,

it would be awesome if pbuilder would support packging the base.tgz with 
(p)bzip2 or pigz, thus using more than one cpu-core for packing and unpacking 
of it.

bzip2 support would be "enough" as pbzip2 behaves close enough to bzip2 (which 
pigz deosnt achieve for gzip), though obviously native support for parallel 
implementations would be much better.

+, thanks for pbuilder!


cheers,
	Holger
