Brilliant! :-) It looks like we're finally good to go. I'll also ask the backports team if that (is_udeb_available) conditional will now violate backports policy, eg: if it's a problem that the the stretch-backports btrfs-progs will not have zstd support when the buster one does. I worry it might, and will follow up with a btrfs-progs bug if it does. Happy New Year! Nicholas
