Motivation: Newer Ubuntu releases have changed the default compression from xz to zstd. The zstd compression is not supported by dpkg in "bullseye", the current stable release of Debian. Modification: Hard-code the compression algorithm to use the xz algorithm. Result: The debbuilder.sh script now produces packages that are compatible with Debian stable/bullseye. Closes: richardlehane#222
