Yes, I'm not happy at all about how this was pushed from the Ubuntu
side. But it's been looking like there's not many options here. :(
See, last item on:

  <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2022/07/msg00006.html>

So I'm still not certain how this will be added, but certainly before
the Debian freeze. I'm though not planning on adding zstd support for
source packages.

Thanks,
