Due to PATH, it appears that the "xz" used was not the correct one:
$ type xz
/usr/local/bin/xz
$ /usr/local/bin/xz --version
xz 4.999.8beta
liblzma 4.999.8beta
$ /usr/bin/xz --version
xz (XZ Utils) 5.1.0alpha
liblzma 5.1.0alpha
I've removed
/usr/local/bin/xz
And git-buildpackage works.
Still, it might be a good idea to catch the xz(1) "unrecognized
option" condition and act accordingly to display something like:
ERROR: probably incorrect version of xz. Please check.
