[Bug 1925673] [NEW] Please set binary package compression to xz

[Balint Reczey]

Public bug reported:

Dpkg's default compression may change to zstd in 21.10 (LP: #1923845).
The packages listed here should be changed to compress the binary
packages with xz to make binary copying them to Trusty and Xenial safe.
