Remove 'lzma-deb-archive' and 'uses-deprecated-compression-for-data-tarball'
tags
These tags now duplicate the behavior of the 'malformed-deb-archive' tag, while
being at the same error level.

-Tag: uses-deprecated-compression-for-data-tarball
-Severity: error
-Check: deb-format
-Explanation: The data portion of this binary package uses a deprecated
compression
- format. Although dpkg will support extracting such binary packages for
- the foreseeable future, creating them will eventually be disallowed. A
- warning is emitted for lzma since dpkg 1.16.4, and for bzip2 since dpkg
- 1.17.7.

- For lzma, xz is the direct replacement. For bzip2 either gzip or xz can
- be used as a substitute, depending on the wanted properties: gzip for
- maximum compatibility and speed, and xz for maximum compression ratio.
