Package: kmod
Version: 28-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Since version 28 kmod supports zstd compression [1]. As using xz module 
compression
makes building kernels painfully slow, and zstd achieves pretty decent ratios
at a much lower compression time, it would be good to have support for that
zstd in kmod.

Regards,

Andres Freund
