Ok, I changed it a little to reflect that:

sub vcl_hash
{
         if (req.http.Accept-Encoding ~ "gzip") {
                 set req.hash += "gzip";
         }
         else if (req.http.Accept-Encoding ~ "deflate") {
                 set req.hash += "deflate";
         }
}

We only have gzip support, so this should be ok.
