Support tar.lzma
Metadata
Current evaluation
Open, maintainer-acknowledged enhancement for clean tar.lzma source extraction; an old reproducer emitted errors despite eventually producing files.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The reporter provided a concrete tar.lzma test, and Mark Shuttleworth explicitly said Snapcraft should support the format cleanly; the test's errors show that existing behavior was not reliable or clean. No resolving change is cited, and current searches found TarSource handling but no explicit tar.lzma support, so this remains a small, valid compatibility enhancement.
