p7zip-full as dependence in file-roller

Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

**Wishlist**

file-roller can't open a .7z file without installing the 'p7zip-full' package. It can become hard to guess for a novice user because the window dialog only says "FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED".

IMO file-roller should install it as dependence or inform that you have to install it (in the same window dialog).. or AT LEAST include this package as suggestion.

This has been commented here:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/24444
and it was rejected... WHY?

Since file-roller is a standard package in Ubuntu p7zip-full should also be on a standard install.
Withut p7zip-full it isn't possible to create a new 7zip-archive .
