Sounds sensible to me. >> I sent some patches on 29 Sep (with some problems) to add xz support to >> dpkg-deb and dpkg-source. See Bug#542160.

Thanks. Note that there is a large ommission in the functionality there: I did not change the default compression level for lzma or make the memory limit configurable, which makes what I sent pretty obnoxious to use on any machine with less than 128 MiB of RAM installed. I have tried to address that since then; once I get this code in a nice patch series, I’ll send it. Feedback on the old version is still useful, of course.
