The best solution seems to be to add lzma-compat package where all the lzma
stuff from xz is shipped. It doesn't need any modifications on lzma side.
Adding Obsoletes/Provides to the compat package just obsoletes lzma, not
lzma-libs or lzma-devel so all dependencies on liblzmadec are kept.

Check out the new packages:

http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/xz/xz-4.999.8-0.5beta.fc11.src.rpm

Asked upstream about the lzmainfo:
18:33 < jnovy> Larhzu: Hi Lasse, is it intentional that lzmainfo equivalent is
missing from xz?
18:35 < Larhzu> jnovy: For now, yes, but there will be "xz --list" like gzip
has, and I guess I can add lzmainfo for backward compatibility.
