CPack/DEB: Feature request: Parallelize generation
My organization uses CPack to generate a few hundred debs, which takes quite a while considering it's a fully serial process. Parallelizing the compression does indeed help (which afaik is only available for xz and lzma compression. I'm hoping that it can apply to zstd as well, libarchive master supports that, I'm just waiting for a release), however most of the process is not parallel and obviously the largest gains would be from parallelizing the packaging process as a whole.
I'm happy to help with implementing this if this is a desirable feature, but would appreciate some mentorship. The code does not seem to be written in a way that would be trivial to parallelize.
