Brotli was rejected for inclusion in Ubuntu NGINX after discussion with
the Security Team. This was discussed in
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+question/678209
There has been no movement in Security Team concerns or any effort to
fix a variant of BREACH that is still present in Brotli compression,
therefore Brotli remains rejected for inclusion under the same reasoning
that was provided back in January.

zstd has not been vetted yet.  This requires Security team consultation
before it can be continued.

Per Bug Processing guidelines I am setting this bug as "New" and
"Wishlist" importance.

** Changed in: nginx (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Wishlist

** Summary changed:

- Add Brotli and Zstd compression modules
+ Add Zstd compression module

** Description changed:

  These two modules are now pretty mainstream and should be available
  within Ubuntu repo (e.g. nginx-extras line):
  
  https://github.com/tokers/zstd-nginx-module
- https://github.com/google/ngx_brotli
+ 
+ https://github.com/google/ngx_brotli (REJECTED, see comments --teward)
