squashfs xz landed in 2.6.38. Userspace arrived in Debian in
squashfs-tools 1:4.1-1.

No, unsquashfs takes care of that.

LiveCDs. Now that squashfs 4 is in mainline, the format is probably
going to remain supported for a while. Old formats were subject to
change from time to time but unsquashfs can be used to read the older
ones (all the way back to 1.x).

So this is taken care of. It looks like what's left is to remove the
lzma-source package and perhaps lzma-dev (it has one declared
reverse-build-dependency --- chromium --- which I don't think actually
uses the headers). That way the rest of the package can be less scary
to modify. How about something like the following to start?
Thanks,
Jonathan

-Description: Source for the lzma kernel module
- LZMA is a compression algorithm, based on the famous Lempel Ziv
- compression method.
- .
- The main characteristics of the algorithm are very good compression,
- fast decompression, use of lot of RAM for compression and low usage of
- RAM for decompression.
- .
- LZMA provides high compression ratio and very fast decompression, so it
- is very suitable for embedded applications. For example, it can be used
- for ROM (firmware) compression.
- .
- This package provides the source code for the lzma kernel modules.
- Kernel source and headers are required to compile these modules.
