We had a talk with naddy about it, but since there are people using archivers/lzma with whatever syntax it has, in scripted environments, I'm inclined not to surprise them very much. I think a wrapper can be added to lzmautils for full backwards-compatibility, I may look at it later. Also, the lzmautils website claims it's of alpha-quality, so I'm also hesitant to rely on it completely. At any rate, I think having a reference implementation of lzma util in ports is a good thing. OTOH, changing lzmautils' lzma to another name would probably confuse gtar (I'm not sure though).
