Which leads me to the question: Shouldn't we require xz in the configure
script of ptxdist and drop host-xz? Currently host-xz is only selected
when KERNEL_XZ is set (which means the kernel compression) but not when
some package is compressed which xz.
Currently that packages are the kernel, strace, networkmanager, systemd and
libkmod.

Bernhard
