I have been bitten by this too; I run Debian on a Beaglebone Black with 2 GB eMMC storage; it would be really near if I could save some space by using compressed modules.
In light of all the ARM and other non-x86 devices Debian supports nowadays this is a valid issue. Since implementing support is pretty trivial I don't see why this is being ignored. Thanks for making this happen! Stijn
