+	  XZ-format compression utilities
+
+	  XZ is the successor to the Lempel-Ziv/Markov-chain Algorithm
+	  compression format, which provides memory-hungry but
+	  powerful compression (often better than bzip2) and fast,
+	  easy decompression.
+
+	  This package provides the command line tools for working
+	  with XZ compression, including xz, unxz, xzcat, xzgrep, and
+	  so on. They can also handle the older LZMA format, and if
+	  invoked via appropriate symlinks will emulate the behavior
+	  of the commands in the lzma package.
+
+	  The XZ format is similar to the older LZMA format but
+	  includes some improvements for general use:
+
+	  * 'file' magic for detecting XZ files;
+	  * crc64 data integrity check;
+	  * limited random-access reading support;
+	  * improved support for multithreading (not used in xz-utils);
+	  * support for flushing the encoder.
