Bug#414408: add arj and p7zip to gnome-desktop



Package: tasksel
Version: 2.66
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

*.7z files are increasingly common on Windows, since it's the best packer for
win32 around, and is also free software.  New users migrating to Debian would
expect these to be unpackable without having to figure out what file-roller [1]
backends they need.

This patch adds p7zip (and arj as a bonus) to gnome-desktop.

[1] file-roller is what a newbie Debian user gets to run when she clicks on
    an archive
