The OP's posts don't seem to appear on my ISP's news server for some
unfathomable reason, and my main man gmane news server seems to be on
the fritz where posting is concerned, so I'm responding here (perhaps
redundantly).

The problem, I believe in this case, is the OP has confounded the
package name with the denominations of the executables it provides.

https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/p7zip-full/filelist

curty@einstein:~$ which 7z
/usr/bin/7z
curty@einstein:~$ which 7za
/usr/bin/7za

Zip away!
