Description Ross Burton 2026-04-20 13:52:27 UTC 
bzip2 isn't as important as it used to be, so I'm wondering if we can remove it from assume-provided and just build it if needed.

This would also let us remove the -replacement- logic in the recipe.

Ideally, we can move as many recipes as possible to other formats too.
