Comment (by kencu):

 I don't want to change diffutils-for-muniversal to use the MacPorts' xz
 port, as there are too many deps. There is no gz version of that file on
 the gnu servers.

 But as this is only supposed to be used on Ventura+ anyway, the fix I'm
 going to use here is to make sure that it is never called for on anything
 < Ventura.
