Dear Maintainer,
There used to be a HTML manual describing the arguments of 7z
command in more detail than the summary included in the man page.
In particular, it described how to set the chain of compression
methods and their parameters with the -m option. The manual used
to be packaged in p7zip-full, and upstream still seems to
distribute it in their binary packages, but the information
contained in it is nowhere to be seen in any form in the current
7zip package.
