Hello!

It seems that the license of the package needs further examination.  It
cannot be Public Domain, since it is derived from the "lzma" package.  This
is supported by both http://tukaani.org/lzma/history and the file headers
for things like src/liblzma/lzma/lzma_encoder.c.

So this is not correct:

Files: src/liblzma/*
License: PD
 liblzma is in the public domain.

It does appear to be LGPL, so it's not a giant issue, but this package
should be more carefully reviewed for copyright issues.

Thanks,

-Kees
