Bacula has support for two compression algorithms since version 5.2.
The choice of algorithm is done server-side with a setting like this:

Include {
Options {
#compression = GZIP1
compression = LZO }
… stuff …
}

So the agent (if of 5.2+ version) is just told “how” and “if” to compress and if it doesn’t the link to the specifc compression algorythm it’ll just turn off compression.
As a result, you get bigger and possibly slower backups.

The bacula-fd package would need to depend on some of these:
:~# apk search xz
xz-dev-5.0.4-r1
xz-doc-5.0.4-r1
xz-libs-5.0.4-r1
xz-5.0.4-r1

I suspect dev and libs are enough.
