Unarchive is tolerable.
Hmm, do you mean that *you* don't speak about de-archivers? [ This is the first time I hear about this in 6 years ]. Google says: dearchiver 391 hits de-archiver 1660 hits unarchiver 1240 hits un-archiver 1500 hits This is biased of course, since I'm sure many of the hits come from the unzip package itself. Perhaps we should ask in debian-l10n-english.
