[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#883827: zstd / Debian 9: gzip file cannot be uncompressed

Package: zstd
Version: 1.1.2-1 on Debian 9

zstd is able to uncompress gziped files - and zstd is at
least 30% faster than gzip.

Unfortunately, zstd on Debian 9 aborts with the error
message below:

   > zstd -d file.gz
   zstd: gzip file cannot be uncompressed (zstd compiled without ZSTD_GZDECOMPRESS) -- ignored

Please enable the uncompress feature for gzipped files in zstd.
That would really help, because zstd is faster than gzip.
