I don't really feel comfortable with using stuff that has only been
sitting in experimental, please upload it to unstable so that more
people can start using and testing it, and other projects which might
have support for liblzma can start also linking against the library.
If then we decided to upload an xz-enabled dpkg to experimental,
that's another thing, but that should not block it to getting more
exposure.

Hmm, I didn't get them even from the BTS. :/ Will manually download the
