Description ta2002 2011-01-31 03:45:53 UTC

From /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-headers/linux-headers-2.6.30-r1.ebuild
(the latest stable on most architectures):

DEPEND="|| ( app-arch/xz-utils app-arch/lzma-utils )"

So either linux-headers doesn't really need xz-utils or the stage3 tarball
should contain it.

Why?   linux-headers tarball is packed .lzma, so it's only required for extracting, and not runtime, and DEPEND will pull it in when required
so it's not needed in stage3
