as a workaround, simply leaving NETWORK_COMPRESSION undefined in
lts.conf should behave as you would expect NETWORK_COMPRESSION=False to
behave.

yes, this would be a better way to do it. though i think simply:

             if get_config_bool('NETWORK_COMPRESSION'):

would be sufficient.

will fix this in the next upload.
