Hi!
The checks on deb incorrectly tag lzma compressed udebs with
lzma-deb-archive instead of
udeb-uses-unsupported-compression-for-data-tarball.
Here's a tentative (because the entire logic might need to be reworked
anyway, see my previous and next deb related bug reports) and untested
patch, although dpkg-deb emits a warning when building lzma compressed
.debs, and that option might either fail in the future or transparently
map the value to xz, not sure yet.
Thanks,
Guillem

Subject: [PATCH] c/deb-format.pm: Do not emit lzma-deb-archive on lzma
compressed udebs
Emit the correct tag udeb-uses-unsupported-compression-for-data-tarball
instead.
