Such as mips?

IIRC, I asked last year already to patch dpkg to limit the
xz compression levels to -7 (and treat -8 and -9 as -7).
That was per-arch and mostly with buildd concerns, but this
bugreport shows that it’s high time we do that, as those
little 64 MiB RAM machines are available for a release
architecture (probably several).

Guillem, would you do that?
