Title:
  [19.10 FEAT] gzip compression improvements addl. patch required

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in gzip package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This patch (unfortunately not yet upstream acepted) is needed on top
  of LP 1825350
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gzip/+bug/1825350), and
  fixes a serious bug.

  It was already developed and published a while ago:
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2019-07/msg00000.html

  This patch fixes data corruption issues, and thus is very important.
  Unfortunately, so far it has been ignored (there is not much going on
  on gzip mailing list in general). I would like to ask you to pick it
  up for the distro.
