Hi,

I am the primary maintainer of the pulp_deb plugin 
(https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/) of the pulp project 
(https://pulpproject.org/).
The plugin uses python-debian as its primary dependency.

Since Ubuntu has started using zstd compression for their deb packages starting 
with Ubuntu impish, we have not been able to upload such packages to our 
software: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/issues/459

I have now successfully tested the following MR from your source repo, which 
appears to fix the problem (so long as the zstd program is independently 
available): 
https://salsa.debian.org/python-debian-team/python-debian/-/merge_requests/79
I also tried registering an account on your GitLab instance, so I might comment 
directly on the MR, which is pending administrator approval.

My question is if there are any plans to release a version of python-debian 
that includes the above MR?
I was also wondering if there is any way I can get more directly involved with 
python-debian development/maintenance, since this will likely not be the last 
time we have some need regarding this library?

Thanks for all the good work,
Quirin Pamp
