Bug#774729: lintian: bzip2 in Depends, xz-utils in Suggests

[Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3

Lintian depends on bzip2, but only suggests xz-utils. This made sense 
back in 2011 when these relationship were added[0]. But these days 
source packages that use bzip2 compression are rare; OTOH xz is the 
default compression format for .debian.tar and for native tarballs. So 
it's much more important that users have xz-utils than bzip2 installed.
