Hello,

the fact that BackupPC compresses log files using zlib and requires
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat for their uncompression is
a bit of a nuisance, not only when log files are being
sync'd/analysed on a system where there is no BackupPC installed.

I also can't find a suitable decompressor in a Debian package,
especially not one supporting reading from stdin.

Why aren't we just using standard gzip or bzip2 or xz, for which
decompressors exist on pretty much every Unix system?
