If you just want to upgrade yourself, the best thing to do is to purge the xz-lzma package and make sure the old lzma package is reinstalled (i.e., that /usr/bin/lzma is present in the end). Then xz-utils should upgrade cleanly. Ideally, I would like this to happen automatically for anyone who downloaded packages from collab-maint.alioth.debian.org. xz-utils should Conflicts: the old xz-lzma package because of the file conflict you point out, but I worry about the second step. How do we ensure that xz-lzma, which Replaces: lzma, has not taken over its files and made them go away? I’ll have to run some tests. Thanks for pointing this out.
