Package: zutils
Version: 1.11-1
Version: 1.11-3
Severity: serious

Hi,

zutils version 1.11 added zstd support:

  2022-01-25  Antonio Diaz Diaz  <anto...@gnu.org>

        * Version 1.11 released.
        […]
        * Add support for zstd format to all tools.
        […]

And Debian's zutils package seems to have zstd support:

  ~ → dfgrep zstd zutils
  grep: /bin/zcat: binary file matches
  grep: /bin/zcmp: binary file matches
  grep: /bin/zdiff: binary file matches
  grep: /bin/zgrep: binary file matches
  grep: /bin/ztest: binary file matches
  grep: /bin/zupdate: binary file matches
  /etc/zutilsrc:# zst = zstd -T2
  /usr/share/doc/zutils/README:The formats supported are bzip2, gzip, lzip, xz, 
and zstd.

But the packaging (citing from zutils/1.11-3) does not reflect this:

  Depends: libc6 (>= 2.33), libgcc-s1 (>= 3.0), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2)
  Recommends: bzip2, lzip, xz-utils
  […]
  Description: utilities for dealing with compressed files transparently
   Zutils is a collection of utilities for dealing with any combination of
   compressed and non-compressed files transparently. Currently the supported
   compressors are gzip, bzip2, lzip, and xz.

The package needs zstd to be added to Recommends as zstd is only of
priority "optional" as of now.

Additionally the long package description should be updated to list zstd
as well.
