Hi Kei,

> * gnu/packages/compression.scm (lhasa): New variable.

this looks good to me.

A few minor suggestions:

> +    (home-page "http://fragglet.github.com/lhasa/")

Please use HTTPS.

> +    (synopsis "LHA implementation")

I’d prefer “Parse LHA archives” or something else that hints at what
“LHA” is.

> +    (description "Lhasa is a replacement for the Unix LHA tool, for
> +decompressing .lzh (LHA / LHarc) and .lzs (LArc) archives.  The backend for the

I’d say “free drop-in replacement”.
