Please unblock package 7zip

[ Reason ]
7zip-rar 25.00 has migrated to trixie.
The 7zip-rar interface might not be compatible with 7zip in trixie.

[ Impact ]
7zip-rar might fail to be called for specific rar file operations.

[ Tests ]
I have tried to provoke a crash by extracting a rar file but have not
succeeded.

[ Risks ]
None. The risks are in not migrating.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

Hi,

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.

Cheers,

Ivo

I withdraw this request. The .so interface is the same and upstream
seems to keep it stable enough for such a use case.
