If *that* were still a concern for a compression tool (as opposed to various vendor `tar' programs), then heck it should not be promoted at all for wider use. No, I don't think each package using Automake should be turned into a regression test suite for lzma. That's more fear,
Most of the compressors offer an option to test the compressed file. For lzma, gunzip, and bunzip2, that is provided by the -t option, and for zip, it is the -T option. It is probably not a bad idea to at least verify that the same tool thinks that the package can be properly decompressed.
