Bug Description

[ Impact ]
In impish we switched from xz compression to zstd compression for debs and ddebs. This change seems to have increased a lot the build time without giving any evident benefit for the kernel packages. This can cause time out when doing full builds on launchpad.

[ Fix ]
Explicitly enforce xz compression for kernel ddebs to prevent timeout issues during the build.

[ Where problems could occur ]
If the patch has issues it can break the build while doing full builds.

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/5.13.0-28.31 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-impish' to 'verification-done-impish'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-impish' to 'verification-failed-impish'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

This is a build time comparison between linux 5.13.0-28.31 and 5.13.0-27.29

* amd64
  - before: 3 hours, 22 minutes
  - after: 2 hours, 19 minutes
* arm64
  - before: 15 hours, 49 minutes,
  - after: 15 hours, 12 minutes

  - before: 10 hours, 59 minutes

  - after: 29 minutes

For the architecture that are suffering with longer build times and timeouts, arm64, there's only a marginal percentual improvement (less than 4%) in the build time meaning that there are other areas for improvements.

The build logs don't contain timestamps so we don't have the information about how much time it was taken to build the dbgsym packages, however with the apparent improvement of the build time for all architectures, even though this is a too small of a data sampling for an statistical analysis, we can consider this change to have been beneficial and successfully verified.
