Seems I jumped the gun here. p7zip may be the name of the port, but it
also provides 7z and 7za binaries.

I suggest to list in the order 7za, 7zr, 7z. 7za is also available as
part of the p7zip-full package on Debian derived distributions (at
least), so 7zr is only required for systems that only have the minimal
p7zip package installed.
