Yes.  Something close to what I would like to see in squeeze is
now in mentors.debian.net:

 - git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/xz.git experimental
 - http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xz-utils/xz-utils_4.999.9beta+20100926-1.dsc

but it needs documentation updates --- e.g., the table in xz.1 mapping
compression options to memory usage is out of date.  Hopefully
tomorrow I will have something ready to review for unstable.

Thanks for the ping.
