Package: dpkg Version: 1.20.9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
We (Prosody.im) have a repo where we provide the latest version of Prosody, as well as nightly builds. We use pbuilder and reprepro. Due to Canonical having gone ahead with making Zstandard the default Compression method for Ubuntu (see #892664), and thus packages built in an Ubuntu environment having zstd control and data archives, which are not supported (indirectly?) by reprepro on Debian, I've tried to pass -Z to the package build procedure, but it appears to have no effect on the resulting .deb files. Running e.g. `dpkg-buildpackage -Zgzip` still produces .xz members of the .deb on Debian, and .zstd on Ubuntu, so it seems that the -Z flag is not passed all the way to whichever command (dpkg-deb ?) actually packs the .deb file. -- Package-specific info: System tainted due to merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.8-4 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2 ii liblzma5 5.2.5-2 ii libselinux1 3.1-3 ii tar 1.34+dfsg-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2 dpkg recommends no packages.
