Before I seriously consider doing so: would you mind telling me why you dropped fusecompress? I'm under the impression that both the package and fusecompression itself are in a rather good shape?

Thanks,

      Hello Ritesh et al,

      currently Debian's fusecompress won't compress files with lzma. To this
      effect, the changelog entry for version 2.6-2 contains the following note:

       "Drop liblzma-dev from Build Dependency since upstream hasn't done a
        new release with support for it. Will support lzma once upstream does."

      I'm not sure, could it be that you possibly missunderstood upstream at
      that time?

      I've re-added the liblzma-dev dependency to the package, and lzma
      works now.

      If you don't mind, I'll do a NMU. The respective patch is attached.

      On a related note: maybe it'd be a good idea to merge the Debian
      fusecompress repository with upstream's. I think (I haven't checked in
      detail though), that at least some of Debian's patches are included in
      upstream's git repo.

      Thanks,
      *t
