Hi Laszlo,

Re. <https://bugs.debian.org/918480#32> and similar, please find
attached the following patch that I have rebased against
squashfs-tools 4.3-9:

    From: Alexander Couzens <lynxis at fe80.eu>
    Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2019 10:57:00 +0100
    Subject: remove frag_deflator_thread

    frag_deflator_thread compress fragments.
    Replace the deflator_thread with a function and
    use the function instead of the to_frag queue.

This, I believe, is the final patch required for reproducible squashfs
images at least for Tails [0] and would mean we could drop our custom
package in that derivative distribution.
