I'm not really concerned about the outcome... whether we explicitly list
`lzip` as a dependency or not but...
To clarify:
* BuildStream is perfectly capable of functioning without `lzip` installed,
it's not required by any means
* If your BuildStream project uses a `.tar.lz` file, then the `tar` plugin
will require `lzip` (this is an exceedingly rare case)
* If you try to run `BuildStream` to load an element that uses a `.tar.lz`
file, it will exit early informing the user that `lzip` was not found on the
host
* So there is at least a user story for informing the user that they need
`lzip` in that edge case
What do we prefer to do ?
