Title:
  does not create compressed dump on 5.0 or later kernels

Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in makedumpfile source package in Bionic:
  In Progress
Status in makedumpfile source package in Disco:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On ppc64el, makedumpfile won't create compressed dumps, causing them to be 
very large. This affects any kernel later than 4.19 actually.

  [Test case]
  Crash a system with kdump-tools installed and enabled, by using the following 
sequence. Verify the created dumps are compressed by using file. This is the 
same test as the autopkgtest for makedumpfile.

  echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
  echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger

  [Regression potential]
  This is a small fix and should only impact ppc64el. Older kernels should 
still work, and should be tested.
