Details

At some point on the trunk, the packaging for Linux binaries changed from .tar.gz to .tar.bz2. There are a number of release tools that will barf on this change when we start to do more "encompassing" (i.e. l10n and updates) releases of the trunk. They make the assumption that .bz2 is the source tarball, and expect that .tar.gz will be Linux tarballs. In particular, groom-files will likely be unhappy, as well as some of the File::Find callbacks in the release automation will have some indigestion.

Can we close this as a DUP? After looking at bug#297914, bug#407351 and bug#408868, is there anything left to do here?
Closing as dup of bug#297914, bug#407351 and bug#408868, but bugzilla only lets me pick one, so I'll mark dup of 297914.
