It hasnt much effect (like -1.5% for data package) but i added the compression flags anyway. Using xz-source-tarballs isnt that important for users and might not be supported by older debian/ubuntu versions.

Replying to ricotz:

It requires dpkg-dev >= 1.15.5 (according to dpkg-source and the changelog) which is available since Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid).
