Doesn't really fly:
[root at turre rpm]# rpm -Uvh
/home/pmatilai/rpmbuild/RPMS/xz-4.999.8-0.3beta.fc11.x86_64.rpm
/home/pmatilai/rpmbuild/RPMS/xz-libs-4.999.8-0.3beta.fc11.x86_64.rpm
/home/pmatilai/rpmbuild/RPMS/xz-devel-4.999.8-0.3beta.fc11.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
 lzma is needed by (installed) man-1.6f-20.fc11.x86_64
 lzma is needed by (installed) rpm-build-4.7.0.git9198-1.fc11.lorg.x86_64
 liblzmadec.so.0()(64bit) is needed by (installed)
libarchive-2.6.2-1.fc11.x86_64

How about we simply leave out the lzma bits from the xz package? Ie dont
obsolete or conflict with anything, and only include the actual xz binaries in
the main package:
/usr/bin/unxz
/usr/bin/xz
/usr/bin/xzcat
/usr/bin/xzdec

-libs and -devel are not a problem as they dont conflict and those are the only
bits that rpm really needs for payload compression, /usr/bin/xz is only useful
for supporting xz compressed sources in build, the old stable lzma can be used
to provide the /usr/bin/*lz* bits for now.
