I assume you are talking about some GUI tool that is a wrapper around the real unarchiver (which is tar).

Python will only support .xz if support for it was available when Python was built.

> Where I can modify how pyqtdeploy-sysroot extracts tar files?, seems like a common error when a tar file have multiple folders inside, which have no sense, as Qt have one single folder with a lot of folders and files inside

As I said, if you want to change the way Qt is built the you need to provide your own plugin that does what you want...

http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/pyqtdeploy/sysroot.html#writing-a-component-plugin

Obviously the easiest thing to do is to take the one included with pyqtdeploy and modify it.
