Hello FTP team,

"python-backports.zstd" is backport of "compression.zstd" for Python 3.13 and
before.
"python-backports.zstd" is known to not works with Python 3.14 and later[1], so
I want to remove it from unstable distribution.

"python3-backports.zstd" can safely removed because all rdeps are depends
"python3-backports.zstd | python3-supported-min (>= 3.14)" and
"python3-defaults" package will drops Python 3.13 support (See Debian bug
1142557[2]).

See also Debian bug 1128214[3] for similar cases about "python-zstd".
