There are several problems with p7zip:
* It uses built-in encoders/decoders for formats. This would be an ongoing
maintenance and security problem. We already have encoders and decoders in
main.
* It also pulls in a whole new toolkit (wxgtk2.8) which is a large burden for a
package that we don't even envision using the GUI for.
* It seems like there are quite a few bugs and not a super lot of maintenance
work on them in Debian and Ubuntu.
Is it possible to just patch unetbootin to use the main versions of any
decoding formats it needs? (like call lzma instead of p7zip etc)
Also... is the plan to adopt unetbootin or rewrite it or something? My
memories of unetbootin is that it was "ugly". If we are rewriting,
surely we could rewrite in a way that wouldn't need p7zip.
** Changed in: p7zip (Ubuntu)
