** Description changed: https://people.canonical.com/~rbalint/zstd-debs/ contains a .deb built on Hirsute having both data and control members of the .deb being compressed with zstd. It can be handy for testing various tools. [dpkg] Decompression support in dpkg landed first in Bionic and is being SRUd to Xenial in LP: #1764220 enable Launchpad's Xenial systems to process the zstd-compressed binary packages. From dpkg's perspective the upgrade path is cleared. The original plan was compressing only the internal data.tar .deb member, but dpkg uses uniform compression by default since dpkg 1.19.0 thus I'm collecting all the changes to support control.tar.zst, too, in this bug.
