Add --deb-compression-level #2006

The sizes of deb and rpm packages can differ greatly because the default compression levels for deb and rpm packages are different:

Unlike RPMs (--rpm-compression-level), there is no way to specify a compression level for DEBs. This could be achieved by either adding an environment variable to tar, such as XZ_OPT for xz, or by first creating a tar archive and then compressing it.
