Bug#620650: file-roller: Use (and recommend) unar to freely extract .rar files

[Sylvain Beucler]

Package: file-roller
Version: 2.30.2-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I recently discovered a free implementation for the RARv3 archive format:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619602

Currently RARv2 archives can be extracted using unrar-free, and RARv3
archives require the unrar from non-free.

"The Unarchiver", and its 'unar' command-line utility, has a free
implementation to extract RARv3 archives.

Please consider using 'unar' to extract .rar archives :)
