You seem to assume that 7zip-rar needs to be the same version as 7zip. If
that's the case, 7zip-rar would need to have a strict(er) versioned dependency
on 7zip. Such a dependency would also have prevented the migration of 7zip-rar
without 7zip.

The changes between 7zip 24.09+dfsg-8 and 25.00+dfsg-1 are not small, so
clearly 'None' is not correct here.
