I'd be surprised if `zstd` compresses better than `lzma` (which itself
should compress about the same as `xz`).  I just tested here and I get

    zstd => 11049378
    xz   =>  9989884
    lzma =>  9965122

Maybe with more control over the compression parameters `zstd` can be
more competitive, I don't know.

In any case, my quick tests do suggest that indeed changing to `lzma`
probably won't help you very much (not nearly as much as changing to
MODULES=dep).
