Unfortunately this would not work because Replaces can only reconcile file conflicts if both packages provide the file in their data.tar.gz. In this example, xz-utils instead provides "lzma" through the alternatives system; when the xz-lzma package is later removed it would remove the symlink. So we would need another fix.
