One quick check is with Hardy 8.04 which is a current LTS. It is supported on the desktop for just over a year, and on the server for three more years.
It only ships with tar 1.19, but it looks like LZMA support did not get in until 1.20.
The gzip tarballs would still be available, so users with older tar won't experience problems. The only thing that won't be possible is generating release tarballs without an LZMA-enabled tar. I guess we can find someone with a non-ancient system to do this, particularly since some of our admins are also Ubuntu developers.
Is it required to have the whole thing bumped up, or can't we just script an additional compress-and-publish step to have that as an option?
We need to add the option "dist-lzma" to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in configure.ac
