xz support is not yet natively available in neither python, nor
regular `bzr export`, nor in pristinetar.

bzr builddeb could gain an optional dependency on python-lzma module
(which is being reworked for python3.X inclusion).

xz has many options and we probably should match the import / export
compression options to those used in dpkg.

I did have an experimental xz/lzma branch pushed, but it hasn't been
updated in a while.

Opened additional udd bugtask to track the need there, and the deployment of a suitable bzr-builddeb on the importer machine once such a version exists.
