[Bug 805389] Re: Support xz compression inside debs

[Michael Vogt]

Thanks Colin for the testing. I merged your fix for the missing bits in
python-apt now. The reason its missing is that its in the 0.7 API compat
code. With the 0.8 API  the filelist is more pythonic:

    def test_xz_data(self):
        deb = apt.debfile.DebPackage("./data/test_debs/data-tar-xz.deb")
        self.assertEqual(deb.filelist, ["./", "usr/", "usr/bin/"])

But of course LP uses the 0.7 API so this patch needs to be added. I
uploaded a new version now to lucid-proposed and will do the required
apt bit as well.
