The VectorLinux guys use lzma packages without a problem.  The issue is your file extension. 
The following regular expressions are defined and used for matching packages:

src/package.h:#define SLAPT_PKG_PARSE_REGEX "(.*{1,})\\-(.*[\\-].*[\\-].*).t[gbl]z[ ]{0,}$"
src/package.h:#define SLAPT_PKG_NAME_PATTERN "^PACKAGE NAME:[
]{1,}(.*{1,})\\-(.*[\\-].*[\\-].*)(.t[gbl]z)[ ]{0,}$"
src/package.h:#define SLAPT_MD5SUM_REGEX "([a-zA-Z0-9]{1,})[
]{1,}([a-zA-Z0-9\\/._\\-]{1,})\\/(.*{1,})\\-(.*[\\-].*[\\-].*).t[gbl]z$"

You can update them to also match ipkg files.


take care,
jason
