Also, the Debian Repository Format states:
Servers should offer only xz compressed files, except for the special cases listed above. Some historical clients may only understand gzip compression, if these need to be supported, gzip-compressed files may be offered as well.
I believe parsing both formats should be fine for now, but maybe it would be an idea to (at some point in the far future) phase out reading Packages.gz
?

Description
Hello there! I noticed that the main Debian Bookworm repository works well with RMT, but the Debian-Security repository only copies
dists/
without thepool/
directory which contains the packages. Upon inspection of the RMT code I realized that onlyPackages.gz
files are parsed, which are not contained in the Debian-Security repo.How to test
Mirror http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/bookworm-security/main/binary-all/ or any repository which uses the
.xz
variant overPackages.gz
