Describe the solution you'd like
[I'd like to specify an option in my build to request a compressed image - so the result .img file that is downloaded is smaller]
Anything else you would like to add:
[When using this plugin to build and download an image, the image is as big as the virtual disk I create. I do a trim operation at the end of my build and the disk has a lot of free space so I would expect the data to compress well if any compression were appliedc]
