What does this MR do and why?
Document requirement to support ZStandard compression for Debian binary packages.

is supported. It is used by
default since Ubuntu 21.10. The Gitlab Debian package registry will not
recognize such binary packages as valid and fails with
Invalid Package: failed metadata extraction
Document requirement to support zstd
.
