What about the proposition below? Description: linux port for the famous 7-zip archiver 7-Zip is the file archiver that archives with the highest compression ratios. The program supports 7z (which implements the LZMA compression algorithm). Compression ratios with the 7z format are 30 to 50% better than ratios with the ZIP format. . p7zip-full provides 7z and 7za which handles more compression formats. > Finally, in case you didn't already, you should consider renaming p7zip > to p7zip-minimal (or something similar) and p7zip-full to p7zip.

I've already thought of that when splitting the package. But I 've decided to rename the other way around. Now I don't want to change p7zip users' habits every year. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. -- adn Mohammed Adnène Trojette
