The attached patch (not yet fully) supports Z compression.  It would
need also enabling this compression in

   libdpkg-perl: /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Compression.pm

While it seems a quite rare case I'd consider it useful to support this
compression method as well.

Please tell me whether I should file a bug report.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
