It is specific to your problem (and sent to the wrong mailing list).
A more generic solution would be similar to OPKGBUILDCMD,
allowing the user to pass any parameters (including any
compression settings) to dpkg-deb.
This would also support the opposite usecase of "xz -9",
which is both faster to download and faster to decompress
than the default "xz -6".
