I'm not sure it was really necessary to cross-post this across several bugs while also CC'ing random developers (I don't think I've ever interacted with any of the bugs you mention above). To answer your question, libvirt and libvirt-dbus are both using pristine-tar to import xz-compressed upstream tarballs and I'm not aware of that ever causing any issues. -- Andrea Bolognani <[email protected]> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
