``universal-docs:package-xz-tarball``
Creates the ``txz`` universal documentation package. The ``xz`` command can get better compression
for some types of archives.

**Note: Some versions of ``tar`` interpret archive file-names that contain a colon as being the name of a remote tape drive.
Since the name of the archive file is derived from the name of your ``sbt`` project, if the ``tar`` on your system supports the
``--force-local`` option and you wish to create a tar-format output package then you should refrain from including colons in the
name of your project.**
