Really? Didn't know about it. ;)

+1, feel free to hack makepkg to support lzma, and send patches as a
reply to this thread. The pacman part is quite trivial, you just need to
add a few archive_read_support_compression_lzma() calls to
_pacman_add_commit(), _pacman_pkg_load() and _pacman_unpack().

NOTE: Last time I tried tar --lzma was horribly broken, so probably
you'll have to use tar + lzma manually.

Thanks.
