That sounds reasonable. xz-utils only includes lzdiff command for compatibility with the lzdiff command from LZMA Utils (which Debian lzma does not seem to include). Since the functionality is already available through the xzdiff command, probably the best solution would be to not install the lzdiff symlink and just add a note to README.Debian. Although lzip's lzdiff provides all the functionality of xz-utils lzdiff, the converse is not true: XZ Utils does not handle the lzip format. (It also does not handle gzip or bzip2. Sorry for my confusion before.) Using alternatives is really not the right solution. I'll drop lzdiff from XZ Utils before it goes to unstable. Thanks for the explanations.
