Bug Description
It would be nice to receive progress during long dpkg-deb -c time.
Specifically, we have dbgsym builds of kenrels that are 6GB+ in size and take more time to compress than builder timeouts.
If dpkg-deb were to produce output during such long compression times, it would have been very nice.
I'm thinking something along the lines of piping temp compression files through pv for regular output. Or something of the sort.

By a quick glance zstd _compression_ is still single threaded. Switching it to be multi-threaded may help with the timeout. I planned doing that (with the kernel builds in mind) and the idea was switching decompress_zstd() in dpkg to use the zstd command instead of libzstd's API.
