Dropping xz at this point would mean another full mass rebuild. Do-able
but needs to happen very very soon.
I'd be interested in trying to "fix" xz (I disagree entirely that this
is an xz bug; it's a bug in the assumptions of those whose used it for
the wrong purpose), but presumably it means rebuilding packages built on
certain arches anyway - and if that's not easy to determine, does that
imply a rebuild anyway?
