Yes, IMO.

rar is shareware, and cannot legally be *used* after 40 days without
paying for it.  This is actually one of the most restrictive licenses
present in the non-free archive.

unrar-nonfree is unlimited-use and unlimited-distribution, with
restricted modification.

I think this is a significant enough difference that the vast majority
of Debian users would be safer and better off installing unrar.
