Package: atool
Version: 0.39.0-9
Severity: wishlist

atool currently has:

Recommends: bash-completion, binutils, bzip2, file, lbzip2 | pbzip2, unzip, zip
Suggests: arc, arj, cpio, lzip, lzma, lzop, nomarch, p7zip-full, rar, rpm, 
unace, unalz, unrar, xz-utils

I think that xz-utils should be moved to Recommends, as it is very
common nowadays. And perhaps bzip2 should be moved back to Suggests.
For instance, GNU Automake, GCC and GNU Emacs are now distributed
only as .gz and .xz:

  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/?C=M;O=D
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-9.2.0/
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/?C=M;O=D

and diffutils only as .xz:

  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/?C=M;O=D

And perhaps zstd should be added to Suggests as .tar.zst is supported
via "tar xvf".
