Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.39-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Followed the guide on the wiki to download Steam, worked fine until Steams internal updater
was done, then libsteam.so failed to load. When running 'steam' in terminal (as user)
things became more clear; the command xz was not found. Downloaded xz-utils and Steam works.
Don't know if this is the right way to report but maybe xz-utils should be
in dependencies for the package steam? xz-utils is probably in "normal" Debian, but I
have a core system built with few packages(xorg, xfce4 etc.), which is why i missed xz-utils.
