  Description     : Lossless LiDAR compression

LASzip quickly turns bulky LAS files into compact LAZ files without
information loss.

LASzip can be used in combination with libLAS to support both compressed
and uncompressed data.

Having LASzip in Debian will also benefit derivatives. Specifically
OSGeo-Live where LASzip support was requested in:
