Sorry, I was forgetting that gzip, bzip2, lzma, xz and friends default
to compressing/decompressing in place, (i.e. overwriting the original file with
the compressed/decompressed content).  In that case, for transformation in either
direction, of course the original file needs to be writeable, so it can be removed
after successful conversion.

I *always* use these tools in the stdout redirecting form, e.g.:

  bunzip2 -c enwiki.bz2 > enwiki

so the issue doesn't arise, (and I don't lose the original file).  I guess your
-k option has a similar effect.
