The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

No, this is just an installer, no actual compress source:

Package: compress-package
Maintainer: Yves Arrouye <arrouye@debian.org>
Version: 1.3-1
Architecture: all
Section: contrib
Priority: extra
Description: fileset to build Debian compress packages
 This package contains some files that automatize the task of building
 Debian packages containing the BSD compress(1) command.
 .
 Please note that the usual compress implementation uses an algorithm
 that is patented by Unisys and that use of such a compress may be
 subject to authorization from Unisys.
