    <para>The Bzip2 package contains programs for compressing and
    decompressing files. Compressing text files with <command>bzip2</command>
    yields a much better compression percentage than with the traditional
    <command>gzip</command>.</para>

    <para os="s1">Bzip2's default Makefile target automatically runs
    the testsuite as well. Disable the tests since you can not run the
