dpkg has officially supported zstandard compression for the data tarball since version 1.21.18, and despite shipping with dpkg version 1.21.1, most .deb packages for Ubuntu 22.04 are also in zst format.

While this PR does not do anything to make it easier to create zstd-compressed tarballs, it does make it possible to use them when creating .deb packages.

Closes #759
