Currently, Lasse Collin (the author of the lzma-utils patch included in debian/patches and applied to the lzma SDK in Debian's lzma) is writing a liblzma from scratch. It is not yet stable and not yet fully completed. And it may take some time before it is. But once it is done, it will ease the use of lzma in other applications. -- Mohammed Adnène Trojette
