What Scarlett means, I think, is that the installed squashfuse binary
*is* the lowlevel one. Newer upstream versions of squashfuse produce two
different binaries: squashfuse and squashfuse_ll, I think following this
commit:

https://github.com/vasi/squashfuse/commit/56a24f6c7f6e5cfd0ce5185f175da223d00dc1ca

At a very first glance the features offered by the two binaries are
identical:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./squashfuse
squashfuse 0.1.104 (c) 2012 Dave Vasilevsky

Usage: ./squashfuse [options] ARCHIVE MOUNTPOINT

FUSE options:
    -d   -o debug          enable debug output (implies -f)
    -f                     foreground operation
    -s                     disable multi-threaded operation

$ ./squashfuse_ll
squashfuse 0.1.104 (c) 2012 Dave Vasilevsky

Usage: ./squashfuse_ll [options] ARCHIVE MOUNTPOINT

FUSE options:
    -d   -o debug          enable debug output (implies -f)
    -f                     foreground operation
    -s                     disable multi-threaded operation
-------------------------------------------------------------------

If _ll is the implementation of choice for Debian/Ubuntu, then it may
make sense to add a

 squashfuse_ll -> squashfuse

symlink for compatibility with projects like xar. Ideally this change
should land in Debian, so more distros will benefit from the change
(Debian and all its derivatives), without the effort of maintaining an
Ubuntu-specific patch indefinitely.

@Scarlett if I'm not mistaken you are the Debian maintainer of the
squashfuse package. What's your take on the above?

Waiting for feedback I'm marking this bug report as Incomplete.

** Changed in: squashfuse (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
