Research direction
Start by locating the sdist implementation and how it selects gzip, bzip2, or xz compression. Review existing command options and documentation before deciding how a user-supplied compression level should be represented. Done means the supported formats accept the intended level consistently and the behavior is covered by tests and documented.
