[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#538333: base: ITP liblzma and liblzma-dev

[Sebastien Brice]

Package: base
Severity: normal
Group : Development/C++

Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm has many use, along them compressing 
the kernel for embedded device is pretty handy
It sounds like debian doesn't support this library and the associated 
headers.
I would be glad developing programs that will use lzmalib on debain 
platform if such features would be put upstream.

cheers
