Upstream has just accepted my patch. > [...] I just noticed one of my use cases > gets sped up by ~10× by moving from gzip to zstd. Although it's not xz related, it would be nice if you could upload with zstd support before Bullseye, so I (and others) can use the above win. (And low levels of xz beat gzip in every of cspeed/dspeed/ratio, too, it's just not the top part where xz shines.) Or alternatively, perhaps I could bother gzip maintainer (gzip's binary is the only Essential one among FOOgrep) to replace that script with the universal xz-utils one?
