Bug#1032662: elpa-debian-el: deb-view fails on zstd compressed debs



Package: elpa-debian-el
Version: 37.10
Severity: normal

Visiting zstd compressed .deb files in deb-view mode-fails with a tar
error, here is a backtrace after toggling debug-on-error.

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Malformed Tar header")
|   signal(error ("Malformed Tar header"))
|   tar-mode()
|   debview-mode()
|   deb-view-process("/tmp/libtinfo6_6.3+20220423-2_amd64.deb")
|   deb-view-mode()
|   set-auto-mode-0(deb-view-mode nil)
`----

Here /tmp/libtinfo6_6.3+20220423-2_amd64.deb is the package from Ubuntu
22.10, see https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/amd64/libtinfo6/download.

While the control.tar.zst apparently can be inspected, there is no way
to get to the files in data.tar.zst.  I had to kill the buffer
libtinfo6_6.3+20220423-2_amd64.deb-DATA, confirming that I wanted to get
rid of that buffer despite it being modified.
