Using deb2tgz on a Debian package that uses zstd for its internal compression (e.g. data.tar.zst) fails silently: no Slackware package is created and no output is generated.

To reproduce:

I've added a quick fix ( sevens@9a99096 and sevens@9829fbf ), can create a pull request for it if you want.

Hi @sevens . Made a correction based on your suggested commits regarding zst.

Nice, thanks :)

FYI: I also made 2 other small changes/improvements which might be useful:

  • Exit with error on unsupported compression formats (sevens@a0313ae), should make it much easier to debug/troubleshoot similar problems in the future
  • Output error messages to stderr (sevens@3d9cab1)

Let me know if a pull request for any of these is desired.
