given that the space issues are not so much of a problem since dvds are
quite common these days, it is not worth the efforts in my opinion, .33
will appear early enough (for squeeze we'll do backports anyway), so no
reason for me to invest time for that.
if someone decides to pursue an early lzma integration, i'll of course
am happy to apply patches to squashfs-tools (to build an additional
squashfs-lzma-tools binary package).

Daniel
