Package: p7zip
Version: 4.30.dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Please could you remove shared objects to handle non-7z formats from
/usr/lib/p7zip/Formats ?  All except 7z.so are only needed to compress or
uncompress non-7z formats, but we already have utilities in Debian to deal with
them.

I think this is just taking unnecessary space.  p7zip is very good with its own
compression format, but it just doesn't make any sense to reimplement other
format handler (and it doesn't use the external libraries where available
either).
