Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

fex and fex-utils 20200429-1 have gained a dependency on p7zip-full,
which was removed from debian a long time ago.

I emphasize the necessity of updating your package to eliminate the
dependency on the p7zip/p7zip-full/p7zip-rar packages, which are
transitional packages since debian trixie. Debian project aims to
minimize the use of transitional packages and actively encourages the
proactive removal of dependencies on them.

Furthermore, it is important to note that the p7zip packages were based
on a codebase from the year 2016, with no updates upstream since. On the
other hand, the 7zip packages are built on a more recent and actively
maintained codebase, both within debian and upstream. Given the
significant changes that may have occurred over the past 10 years, it is
crucial to verify that your package still functions as intended with
7zip as a dependency instead of p7zip.
