[Build-common-hackers] Deprecated variable: COMPRESS

[Neil Williams]

What's meant to be happening for *COMPRESS* support? ' COMPRESS '
appears in deprecated variables but there is no other support for
passing arguments to dh_compress and no change in the documentation.

Whether I use:
DEB_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE := device_table.txt
or
DEB_DH_COMPRESS_ARGS=-Xdevice_table.txt

I get deprecated warnings.

/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk:_cdbs_deprecated_vars +=
DEB_UPDATE_RCD_PARAMS DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE DEB_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE
DEB_FIXPERMS_EXCLUDE

/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk:DEB_DH_COMPRESS_ARGS_DEFAULT ?= $(DEB_DH_COMPRESS_ARGS)
/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk:DEB_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_DEFAULT ?= $(DEB_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE)
/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk:	dh_compress -p$(cdbs_curpkg) $(call cdbs_add_dashx,$(call cdbs_expand_curvar,DEB_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE)) $(call cdbs_expand_curvar,DEB_DH_COMPRESS_ARGS)

What is the replacement or are these not meant to be deprecated? When
will the docs be updated?
