The default compression on deb packages seems to have changed to zstd. Unfortunately, Debian does not support zstd (yet), so this specifies a friendlier format. Fixes twilio#482

--compression does not seems to be a valid flag in dpkg, could you confirm that this command works.

Thanks for taking a look! You're right, that flag isn't valid. I saw it on a man page somewhere, but I must have been looking at the wrong command. I apologize for that.
I just pushed a commit that should fix it. As I said in the OP I don't really have a good environment to test this, but my understanding from here and here is that this should do the trick.

I am testing this fix. Will update soon. |

Note that I don't know a good way to test this at the moment. I'm open to suggestions though.
Fixes #482
