I’ve split off a new lzma-utils-tiny package providing those commands.
Further thoughts:

 - Building a shared /usr/lib/xz-utils-tiny/liblzmatiny.so would have
   the potential to make the package even smaller.  Unfortunately,
   each decompressor together with the library would be larger.  Which
   is more important?  (I honestly don’t know, since it’s not clear to
   me how these commands will be used.)

 - The upstream changelog alone is larger then the commands put
   together.  I don’t see much use to cutting the documentation down
   yet, though.
