[J][UNSTABLE][PATCH 0/3] Use default compression for most packages

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

This patch series alligns .deb compression format to the dpkg-dev
default one for most packages. In Impish, a change was made to use
zstd by default for its superior decompression speed. However, it
appears to be unsuitable for kernel ddebs due to their huge size. This
patchseries makes a choice to use the default compression method for
most packages, keep image package uncompressed, and continue to use xz
for ddebs. This should maintain the wider distribution goal of faster
package installation and upgrades, whilst keeping our build times
under reasonable control.

Separately I am investigating to make our ddebs smaller by fixing
support for detached debug symbols, and using more compact DWARF5
debug format.

  UBUNTU: [Packaging] use default zstd compression
  UBUNTU: [Packaging] do not use compression for image packages
  UBUNTU: [Packaging] use xz compression for ddebs
