Description:

The binaries provide a strict subset of 7z's functionality.

They are useful when using on a system with extremely small storage.
In those cases only one of the two is present - the other + 7z are not available.

The 7z developer Igor, has not shipped those in the official package for ~10 years.

For compatibility reasons we could use a symlink and update the man pages(?)

Additional info:
* package version(s) - 16.02-3

Reason for closing:  None
Additional comments about closing:  The same binaries are included in p7zip's prebuilt tarball. Either way, I'm not going to bother with this over a possible 3 MB space savings.
