I would like to propose replacing (not removing) the default command line tools for compression, specifically "gzip" for "pigz" and "bzip2" for pbzip2. These tools are backward compatible and have dramatically better performance because they do compression in parallel utilizing current multiple CPU machines.
Possible paths to do this
a) Simple adding "update-alternatives" support to all the mentioned tools and let the user to decide, however we install pigz and pbzip2 by default. I do not endorse this way.
Arguments please. update-alternatives is a mechanism we use for other alternatives we provide and is known to work. Therefore I would prefer if we reuse the same mechanism for pbzip2.
+1. Sure, update-alternatives is not very friendly at first, but once you've used it, it's fine :-) If you need help to use it, just ask!
