File-Roller is unable to open gzip-compressed files like pci.ids if they are missing an .gz extension

Binary package hint: file-roller

1) Description: Ubuntu 7.10
Release: 7.10

2) apt-cache policy file-roller
file-roller:

3) If I try to open an gzip file(test) which has no .gz file-extension I get an error.

I would expect that File-Roller checks the file-type of test like 'file' does it
$file test
test: gzip compressed data
or
$file -i test
test: application/x-gzip
and decompresses it.

4) If I try to open an gziped File which has no .gz extension File-Roller gives me an error message which says:
>test< konnte nicht geöffndet werden.
Archivtyp nicht unterstützt.
