INN2 on a Raspberry Pi 4? | Migrating between instances of INN2

Wouldn't it be enough to just document that you could add in pathetc a 
file named innshellvars.local, executable, containing:

LOG_COMPRESS='/usr/bin/xz'
Z='.xz'


Doesn't the log compression feature with xz work out of the box with 
just that change?
