A short-term solution would be to add lzip support to unpacker.eclass and utilize that instead of the built-in unpack function. A long-term solution would be to modify PMS to support unpacking lzip archives. Either way, you will still need to have app-arch/lzip in DEPEND, similar to app-arch/unzip.
