I think this breaks =E2=80=98flex-boot0=E2=80=99 in (gnu packages commencem=
ent), doesn=E2=80=99t
it?

It should easily fixed, but I think it might be better to avoid adding
lzip to the early dependency graph.  IOW, if Flex is also available as
tar.gz or tar.bz2 or tar.xz, we should do that.

(Eventually we might want adding lzip and/or removing bzip2 from the set
of bootstrap tools, but that=E2=80=99s another story.)

Thoughts?
