Public bug reported:

Since the development of the lzma/xz utilities has switched from lzma-
utils (http://tukaani.org/lzma/) to xz utils (http://tukaani.org/xz/), I
suggest, that ubuntu should replace the package lzma with the package
xz.

There is even a debian package waiting for mentoring
(http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-
pkglist?action=details;package=xz).

This package is also necessary for the new -J option in GNU tar. (Tar
1.21 produced lzma files while Tar 1.22 produces xz compressed files
with the command line option -J).
