This prevents migration of the Ubuntu archive to .xz. [Test Case] Grab trusty/main/amd64 with debmirror, construct a suitable file list, and ask apt-ftparchive to generate files for this with Packages::Compress set to include xz. We can easily test this on the Launchpad "dogfood" instance where we do QA of the archive publisher. [Regression Potential] Confined to lzma/xz compression, which I think is basically just apt-ftparchive, but we should make sure that other compression methods still work there.
