Hi Daniel, Happy new year! :-)

in Debian we've recieved a bug report that tarlz isn't supporting xattr like tar. It would be nice if tarlz could support both xattr and acls like tar does, to make it (more of) a drop-in replacement of tar.
I have never planned to implement in tarlz support for the non-standardized can of worms that are xattr and acls. The initial set of patches[1] for GNU tar was pretty complicated and unportable, and it is still causing trouble to tar maintainers[2].
