Bug Description

Binary package hint: lintian

Create a deb using dh_make then debuild on gutsy

Gives a lintian error of:

dh_builddeb -pmobileguide -- -Z bzip2
dpkg-deb: building package `mobileguide' in `../mobileguide_0.1-1_all.deb'.
 dpkg-genchanges
dpkg-genchanges: including full source code in upload
dpkg-buildpackage (debuild emulation): full upload (original source is included)
Now running lintian...
E: mobileguide: deb-data-member-wrongly-compressed
Finished running lintian.

This is a difference in the format of binary .debs accepted by Debian vs. Ubuntu, and there's no mention in the Ubuntu lintian changelog of an override for this
