Bug#991428: Consider migrating to original 7-Zip for Linux

[yokota]

Hello,

I'm maintaining 7zip package.

> The 7zip is available for bookworm.
>
> Features that its Debian configuration is currently lacking but that are available:
> * Creating SFX archives (missing 7zCon.sfx)
> * rar module in non-free

SFX is supported since 7zip 22.01+dfsg-9.

rar module provided by another package and currently in ITP at:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1036990
I need a mentor/sponsor to upload this package.

rar module is currently availale at:
https://salsa.debian.org/yokota/7zip-rar
Build yourself to try it.

Now that the 7zip package is feature-compatible with p7zip please move this forward
and convert the p7zip packages to transitional packages.

I was uploaded experimental 7zip package (22.01+dfsg-10~exp1) to replace p7zip.
This package also adds alternative selection to allow other 7-Zip
implementation like p7zip or forked p7zip.

Updated codes are also available from salsa.

Hello,

I was added new marge request at salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/p7zip/-/merge_requests/5

This fix adds alternative selection to p7zip to allow co-installable with 7zip.
