Could you clarify why? People who want to deal with both file formats
can install xz-utils at the same time as lzip (they won't conflict);
it's just the compatibility commands in xz-lzma that are in question.
And until lzip 1.8 rc2 is packaged for Debian and this whole problem
disappears, users can install the xz-utils, lzma, and lzip packages
together if they want to have "xz", "lzma" and "lzip" commands
available.

Thanks for the heads up --- this was fixed already in the next version
of the packaging. xz-utils in experimental has some problems, since
the packaging files assume a more recent upstream version than was
used. If you have a chance, could you try the latest version from
collab-maint (<http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/xz.git;a=summary>)?
Or if .dsc/.diff.gz/.deb files would be more convenient, please let me
know and I'll set up a Debian repository.

Thanks,
Jonathan
