I think it would be useful to say why lzma-dev (actually liblzma-dev)
was added. The package builds without it, but then lacks VZT support
(according to the configure log).

The upstream source includes its own LibLzma.c which is included
regardless of whether you have liblzma installed. They build a static
library libgwlzma which is then used by the main program.
I can't tell if it duplicates liblzma or not, but it would be bad if it
does.
