Seems they are from the IO::Compress::Lzma dist [0] which isn't packaged
for Debian.

Recommending/suggesting a non-existant package is not so good,
packaging it just because of the reference to its documentation also
seems a bit overkill :)

Maybe it's worth packaging it anyqay (also needs
Compress::Raw::Lzma).


Cheers,
