Package: dpkg
Severity: wishlist
Dear debian developers,
Please backport these changes
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892664
https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/diff/?id=2c2f7066b) into
debian stable (bullseye) and debian oldstable (buster). The lack of
tar.zst support is critical for these releases as time goes on and
many popular CI systems only have Ubuntu builders. The lack of tar.zst
support means that for many projects providing packages for debian
distros is not possible or too difficult.
With the ease of which the backport is achievable I am politely
requesting that you include it in the mentioned distros at urnest.
Thanks

That commit depends on several other refactors linked to the parallel
compression support for xz. But in any case this is a significant
change, that does not seem justifiable for a stable release update.
(Also building for distribution X from distribution Y, even though
unfortunately common, is in general frowned upon, and I'd strongly
advise against doing that anyway.)
So I'm afraid, I'll have to decline this request.
Regards,
Guillem
