Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.136
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

there are Kernelpatches for zstandard initramfs support
available for several years, and will hopefully accepted
upstream soon.

Please enable support for this compression.

The patch should be simple enough, I chosen to try zstd
as first decompressor because it supports a whole
range of formats on debian.
