That's not a good reason. Since we don't ship lha and rar we shouldn't
open the corresponding files. file-roller and ark are broken. Also remember
that core packages haven't gone through review and may contain mistakes.
This one is not an obvious mistake, it may have been done on purpose, 
but still it is a mistake in my opinion.

x-ar isn't in the mimetype database. x-archive is, but since xarchive
fails to open ar archives, I am not sure that it is right.

Ok for rpm and debs, the system of default seems right to me. And
if one don't have the default app (pirut for rpm) installed, why 
not xarchiver.
