(Get the code!)
The file-roller suffers from various issues. zip archiving does not work when it comes to large files. .tar.gz is rather old-fashioned and not quite so safe (AFAIR). -> AFAIK, Ubuntu presently does not have any fully working safe built-in archiving tool.
All programs currently available in Ubuntu's repositories seem to rely on the same packaging libaries, so if there is an error in the one concerned, you cannot package with this format. Therefore, it seems to me that it would be very important to have an alternative available which is independent from the usual libraries.
Will PeaZip ship with Ubuntu 8.10?
