Missing dependency on XZ and bzip2

Overview

XZ is not listed as a requirement or checked for, but an initial installation fails due to the tool being missing on a barebones debian install.

Impacted categories

The following categories relate to this issue:

gdk-reliability - e.g. When a GDK action fails to complete.
gdk-usability - e.g. Improvements or suggestions around how the GDK functions.
gdk-performance - e.g. When a GDK action is slow or times out.

IMPORTANT!  gpgme gem uses locally built versions of required C libraries,
namely libgpg-error, libassuan, and gpgme.

If this is a concern for you and you want to use the system library
instead, abort this installation process and reinstall gpgme gem as
follows:

    gem install gpgme -- --use-system-libraries
