It would be nice to have .7z support in uscan repack stuff.

Hi,

7zip archiver is in main so this is a possible feature but before adding
any feature, we need to verify its raison d'être.

Please cite 3 typical actual upstram archive site cases where this is
the only option to get their upstream source.

Regards,

Osamu

I have only one, that I wanted to package:
http://www.dicollecte.org/grammalecte/oxt/Grammalecte-v0.5.14.7z

Maybe someone else will find this bug report and add other upstream archive
sites later...
