The patch contents indicate that only libzstd1 >= 1.4.0 are a requirement
for the new parallel compression support. Bullseye has version 1.4.8 in the repos and buster-backports has version 1.4.4 which are both compatible with these changes.
Please reconsider in light of these corrections.

<https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/diff/?id=2c2f7066b>) into
debian stable (bullseye) and debian oldstable (buster). The lack of
tar.zst support is critical for these releases as time goes on and
many popular CI systems only have Ubuntu builders. The lack of tar.zst support means that for many projects providing packages for debian
distros is not possible or too difficult.
That commit depends on several other refactors linked to the parallel compression support for xz. But in any case this is a significant
change, that does not seem justifiable for a stable release update.
(Also building for distribution X from distribution Y, even though unfortunately common, is in general frowned upon, and I'd strongly
advise against doing that anyway.)
So I'm afraid, I'll have to decline this request.
Regards,
Guillem

Dear debian developers,
Please backport these changes (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892664 https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/diff/?id=2c2f7066b) into debian stable (bullseye) and debian oldstable (buster). The lack of tar.zst support is critical for
these releases as time goes on and many popular CI systems only have Ubuntu builders. The lack of tar.zst support means that for many projects providing packages for debian distros is not possible or too difficult.
With the ease of which the backport is achievable I am politely requesting that you include it in the mentioned distros at urnest.
Thanks
