Can I make a suggestion?
How about adding a package that removes others?
Like if you 'add' 7z, you can remove, gzip, zip, bzip2, uncab, unrar, lzma/unlzma, and xz...
it also unpacks tar, cpi, rpm and deb format as well as several OBJ formats...
For compression, it handles (compresses in:) zip, gzip bzip2, (and xz/7z)...
And it does a better job of zip compression than zip! (it can also compress in any of those formats in parallel, but only handles bzip2 for parallel decompression...
You did not really try that..... 7z only supports some ancient tar formats but not POSIX.1-2001 and it does not behave correctly for uncompressing data as it does not implement the compress(1) CLI. xz e.g. was written in order to get a compliant CLI for the 7z compression method.
