What happened?
The new package format is an indexed, uncompressed zip file that contains tarfiles that can use any compression supported by libarchive. The info metadata about packages is separated into its own tarfile from the rest of the package contents. By doing this, we can extract only the metadata, for speeding up operations like indexing.
We have picked zstd only, and are removing libarchive.
