Great, thanks much for this! I've rebased (with no changes needed) the patch on top of git HEAD, built and executed the functional test suite, and it seems to be working fine. :) And pushed it to <https://git.hadrons.org/git/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?h=next/xz-mt-decompressor>. I'm a little wary about merging this though, given upstream mails about it, and their non-guarantees for the API/ABI stability, and for their fear of downstreams to potentially start using it by packaging the alpha or something like that. Given that this will not be enabled in sid/testing anyway as the required liblzma will not be there, perhaps we can wait merging it until a non-alpha release hits sid? If you think it would make your life way way easier for testing or similar, then perhaps adding the patch shadowed behind AUTHOR_TESTING (just like the shared-library support) could do it. Or did you have in mind something else? Thanks, Guillem
