That's a good question. I guess I didn't add anything, because there's
no direct dependency in place for gzip-native either.

I don't know if it counts, but there's a dependency on apt-native and
apt's source tarball, like many others, is compressed with xz. By
default, apt also depends on xz because of PACKAGECONFIG = "lzma", but
that may obviously get changed by users.
