... which is not even widely deployed. I did a quick survey and none of my systems (none of which terrible old and not particularly embedded) have it installed and for most them there's only "lzma-utils" in the distribution package repositories which I understand is not compatible.
I would basically need to download the source by hand and install it like back in the bad old "unix with all useful commands missing" HP-UX/Solaris/etc. days.
Please keep .gz and better .bz2
