Sorry about my last reply; I am a little sensitive about this because of
http://bugs.debian.org/572961 (the most upsetting part of which was not
public). In reality my freeze exception request made the upstream
change to a stable soname much more prominent than my intent not to
follow that in Debian.
More constructively:
The proposed upstream memory usage limiter changes do not affect
liblzma.
I do not believe any package in Debian uses --info-memory.
The compression preset changes will probably not affect -6 and -7
(used by dpkg and rpm, respectively) but in any case I will be in
touch with you when they are finalized.
Apologies again for my last mail.
Regards,
Jonathan
