A hypothetical commons-sevenz would stil have an optional dependency on commons-lzma which then has a real depedendency on XZ for Java. The 7z code doesn't need XZ for Java if the archive you want to read only contains deflated entries. I don't think you'd want to split the sevenz module into one that requires lzma and one that doesn't.
