Hi,
Currently, when package sources are in a '.tar.lz' archive (e.g. ed,
wget, ddrescue, etc.), the 'lzip' package must be explicitly put into
the 'native-inputs' of the package definition, or building the package
fails.
Would it be possible to make the 'lzip' package available by default in
the build process, like 'gzip', 'bzip2' and 'xz'?

Yes. There’s not a strong incentive because there are relatively few
packages distributed as lz files, but we could do that in
‘core-updates’.
Thanks,
