* Avoid uninitialized value warning when debian/rules fails to run
  due to alien being run in a noexec directory. Closes: #579216
* Prevent DESTROY stomping on alien's exit code sometimes.
* Support extracting lzma compressed RPMs.
  (Patch by unnamed person on some bug tracking system I don't frequent.)
* Suggest lzma. If not installed, alien will still fail to decompress
  RPMs using it, but will support most rpms, which are not.
* Fix precedence problem that prevented alien from preserving permissions
  of suid/sgid binaries that are not owned by root.
  (Patch by Duane Waddle, on a bug tracking system I don't frequent, that
  was about the "expire" it 4 days from now. We got lucky Duane, but please
  use the Debian BTS next time!)
* Support RPMs containing ghost files.
  (Patch by Ben Webb, who would get his patches applied quicker if he
  actually communicated them to the program's author.)
