Dear Maintainer,

with bacula 15 the new fast also better compression zstd was introduced for
the fileset directive.
Also the faster xxh3 signature directive was been added.

I tried to use them and silently no failures was been shown.
That is is not running as expected is shown in the job details
after the job is finished:

13-Jun 14:17 backup-fd JobId 84970: Error: crypto.c:655 Unsupported digest type: 7
13-Jun 14:17 backup-fd JobId 84970: Warning: XXH3_64 digest digest initialization failed
..
   Software Compression:   None
...

Maybe both are included from debian maintainers?

retitle 1139918 bacula-fd: New xxhash signatures and zstd compression does not work

Looks like xxh3 not a community based signature.
By the way using xxhash does not work, too:
