Unfortunately my memory is quite bad.  I *thought* the current
installer configured XZ compression by default but it seems that's not
the case.  So the documentation on my web site is correct.

* The installer sets MODULES=dep
* It has done so for a long time
* But you've upgraded from a really old release where this wasn't the case (I believe)

* The installer doesn't configure XZ compression
* You don't need it for a normal installation
* If you want LVM or RAID, you have to use XZ, as per the hint at http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/qnap/ts-109/known-issues/

At least I *believe* that's the case.  I didn't investigate in detail.
