Note:

If this is intended to be a long term compat package then we probably want
a new review for the package instead of shipping xz with two tarballs.  If
this is just intended to get us out of the chicken and egg situation with
rpm (This sounds like the better approach to me) then we should make sure
rpm and elfutils are rebuilt asap and then drop the compat packages.
