Dear maintainer,

Please enable FW_LOADER_COMPRESS_ZSTD.
Support for Zstd firmware files was enabled in initramfs-tools=0.143 after bug #1019412.
With default settings the compression time for Zstd vs Xz is 8s vs 135s for a difference of only ~50MB.
Which for me is the difference between "makes sense" and "too annoying to bother".
