Are all Debian .deb packages compressed with the xz compression? How
many packages would benefit for this being supported at the package
infra level vs. handling it directly in the toolchain-external package?

We normally try to not clutter the package infra with features only
useful to one package, especially when the feature can easily be
implemented at the package level.

Best regards,

Thomas
