The xz-utils are there. It is only that the platform is not properly
recognized. After forcing the platform name, TeX Live works properly
(albeit slowly).

PS: To comfort Norbert a bit: the first ConTeXt hello world took 500s
including an automatic run of "mtxrun --generate" and generation of
ConTeXt format. Subsequent ConTeXt runs took 18 s (which brought me
back to 2004 when I started using ConTeXt and found it to be awfully
slow).

So raspberry pi seems to be "almost as bad" as decently new computers
running Debian on ext3/ext4 ;)
