There are new tools available for Sparkers: Picom & Sparky Picom Manager.

What is Picom?

Picom is a standalone compositor for Xorg, suitable for use with window managers that do not provide compositing. Picom is a fork of compton, which is a fork of xcompmgr-dana, which in turn is a fork of xcompmgr.

Installation:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install picom

so it removes the ‘compton’ package.

It been tested on Debian Buster and Bullseye/Sparky 5 and 6 i686, amd64 and armhf.
