+ Compress the debug information using zlib. Requires GCC 5.0+ or Clang
+ 5.0+, binutils 2.26+, and zlib.

+ Users of dpkg-deb via scripts/package/builddeb may find an increase in
+ size of their debug .deb packages with this config set, due to the
+ debug info being compressed with zlib, then the object files being
+ recompressed with a different compression scheme. But this is still
+ preferable to setting $KDEB_COMPRESS to "none" which would be even
+ larger.
