kbuild: deb-pkg: add comment about future removal of KDEB_COMPRESS
'man dpkg-deb' describes as follows: DPKG_DEB_COMPRESSOR_TYPE Sets the compressor type to use (since dpkg 1.21.10). The -Z option overrides this value. When commit 1a7f0a34 ("builddeb: allow selection of .deb compressor") was applied, dpkg-deb did not support this environment variable. Later, dpkg commit c10aeffc6d71 ("dpkg-deb: Add support for DPKG_DEB_COMPRESSOR_TYPE/LEVEL") introduced support for DPKG_DEB_COMPRESSOR_TYPE, which provides the same functionality as KDEB_COMPRESS. KDEB_COMPRESS is still useful for users of older dpkg versions, but I would like to remove this redundant functionality in the future. This commit adds comments to notify users of the planned removal and to encourage migration to DPKG_DEB_COMPRESSOR_TYPE where possible. Signed-off-by:Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
