1 PMS doesn't mention lzma-compressed tar files, but Portage (and also
2 Paludis, as far as I can see) can unpack them.

4 And I think calling simple *.lzma and *.xz files "archives" is
5 misleading. They are just single compressed files like *.gz or *.bz2.
6 Patch is attached.

8 We could also think about reordering the list of extensions. Currently
9 it's not very systematic.
