Please review and upload this ITP package to Debian.

  Description     : Backport of PEP-784 "adding Zstandard to the standard
library"


Zstandard is a widely adopted, mature, and highly efficient compression
standard.

PEP-784 proposes adding a new module to the Python standard library
containing a Python wrapper around Meta's zstd library, the default
implementation since Python 3.14.

This module is the backport of PEP-784 for Python 3.13 and before.


Debian python-pyzstd/0.19.0 now uses PEP-784 (compression.zstd) for Python
3.14.
And it requires "backports.zstd" module for Python 3.13.
