Package: p7zip-full
Version: 4.47~dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal

On Fedora, the p7zip package only includes the 7za binary.  It's 7za
binary supports -sfx option, however.

On Debian, currently only 7z supports -sfx, but not 7za.  This makes it
difficult to write scripts that work across linux distributions.

Is there a reason why 7za can't generate self-extracting archives in
Debian?
