 > Lzma and zstd are useless because relays effectively never support it,
 but gzip is available everywhere.

 my relay supports both ZSTD and LZMA (built the libraries myself)

 if Debian does not typically have libzstd.so.1 installed perhaps the pre-
 built release binaries should include a statically linked copy
