That functionality is currently available in dolphin, setting Open archives as
folder in the Navigation section of the settings window. Also, the patch was
reviewed [1] by upstream developers and pointed out a number of "issues".
I don't think it's a good idea to apply this patch for Debian, as long as
upstream developers don't accept it. On the other hand, please, if you have
the time to check the issues that upstream pointed out it would be a great
improvement to ark.
