Hey Jeremy! Thanks for filling in this FFe. Did you do a test build of the new evince for non-amd64 architectures as well (like in some PPA, for instance)? Also, I assume that the two reverted commits for the new libarchive support have been rather non-invasive, right? If the answer is 'yes' for both, I think we can go ahead with this FFe.

Seeing that the NEWS file advertises the libarchive >= 3.6.0 dependency, I was wondering: do you want/need to have this in jammy? Are we missing out (or risking regressing) some features by sticking with the old version? I don't think Foundations had plans on pulling in the new upstream version past FF, but we could discuss that if there is *actual* need for it (since it's out since last month). Though Debian's still on 3.5.2, and so far this was a merge/sync.
