+Subject: [PATCH] mdist.py: import lzma only when needed
+
+Importing lzma requires that python was built with lzma support. Buildroot
+builds its own version of python, without lzma support (i.e. without
+dependency on host-xz).
+
+lzma is anyway only needed to make the dist target, which we don't do in
+Buildroot. Therefore, in the Buildroot context, everything still works
+properly without lzma support.
+
+Moving the import down to the place where it is actually needed does not
+remove any functionality but fixes the problem for Buildroot.
