Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Even more, thank you for the work you have done.

Nevertheless, upstream has already committed a patch for the .xz extentions (commit d7397c1e7bbe250d65377794bcdbfec80056358c), should be available for Ubuntu+1 (Maverick Meerkat, now). If you are willing to, you can propose a SRU adding this patch in.
