Worth pointing out that none of the Linux binaries contain liblzma 5.6

Yeah, they were all built using stable Debian releases (see 00_README.txt).

I'm just leaving a comment here to say
1.) Thank you! Borg backup is amazing and I love it. It is by far the most delicate backup software I've used.
2.) This release has been tested on 4+ devices (x86_64, aarch64) and it's been a breeze.

@ThomasWaldmann you're awesome, keep it up!
