 So, comparing `9.0a7` and `9.0a8` show omni.ja was simply `stored` in
 `9.0a7` (indicating it was already compressed), while it was compressed
 using deflate in `9.0a8`. We can see the size of the apk decreased, as
 well (presumably because an inflated omni.ja allowed higher overall
 compression of the apk):
