I have personally given up hope for a resolution to this problem.

The lack of activity in the libLAS project in general and recommended
move to PDAL make me more hopefull that PDAL won't repeat this mistake
for its LAZ support. See:

PDAL still needs to be packaged for Debian and its derivatives though:
