Public bug reported:

Hi! I'm trying to make a Rust application into a DEB package on
Launchpad, and through having to bundle all the dependencies and
everything into a single tarball (because builds don't have internet
access), it's taken a VERY long time to complete, and I strongly think
that having more compression options (like lz4, which my research and
experience have told me is extremely fast), will be beneficial, not just
to me, but many others as well.

My research also told me that for a feature request, I just file a
wishlist bug, so I hope this is the right way to do it! If it isn't,
sorry for the trouble!
