Comment (by leeroy):

 metrics-lib depends on the soft links __currently__. The jars that
 actually get compiled depend on what they point to. metrics-lib runs on
 tor project infrastructure so it could be stable or oldstable. How can
 metrics-lib ship a terribly old libcommons when it depends on soft links?
 It will always be whatever is installed for meeting the dependency.
 metrics-lib doesn't ship libcommons.

 If you want to merge xz support this is how it is. I didn't design the
 build system. I didn't make metrics-lib general. I can't change either of
 these. This is just a great big warning sign: If you merge without the
 build file modification (which uses soft link) you will be merging non-
 functional code.
