As discussed previously, we want to have zstd support in 18.04 to evaluate and potentially enable it in later releases.
The zstd support adds a dependency on libzstd1 to dpkg. This should not have any effect on live images, since libzstd1 is part of the various live tasks, as btrfs-progs need it. For installed systems, this might be a new dependency (if they do not use btrfs, tor, or some other tools), so an increase of ~520 KB, as that's the size of the library and the library only depends on libc6.
The change is isolated, it adds the compressor and decompressor to dpkg, please see the attached patch for the details.
The change is being discussed here:
