Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Hi,
one of mmdebstrap benefits over deboostrap is that it is faster.
Creating a xz tarball as output will take a lot of time, since xz
consumes a lot of compute power and tar uses only one core.
pixz is a pallalel version of xz that can speedup the compression a lot.
It can be simply used by tar by specifying -Ipixz.
So please support using pixz when creating xz tarballs, maybe even as
default if pixz can be found.
