You have been assigned a bug task for a public bug by Vish (vish):

Description:
"p7zip is the Unix port of 7-Zip, a file archiver that archives with very high compression ratios.

p7zip-full provides:
- /usr/bin/7za a standalone version of the 7-zip tool that handles 7z achives (implementation of the LZMA compression algorithm) and some other formats.
- /usr/bin/7z not only does it handle 7z but also ZIP,.... and DEB archives. 7z compression is 30-50% better than ZIP compression

p7zip provides 7zr, a light version of 7za, and p7zip a gzip like
wrapper around 7zr."

Nerdy and not mentioning that the archive utility can be used as a GUI
to extract the archive. It only mentions commandline tools.

"p7zip-full provides" is the package name and this should just be 7zip
(the title on top) or 'This software"

-----
Suggested Description:

Provides utilities to pack and unpack 7z archives with File Roller and using the Terminal.
Installing 7zip allows File Roller to use the very efficient 7z compression format for packing and unpacking files and directories. Additionally, it provides you with the 7z and 7za commands at the command line.

Complete list of supported formats:
  * Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
  * Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MSI, NSIS, RAR, RPM, UDF, WIM, XAR and Z.
