Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16.04

Normally using tar with gzip (tar cvzf file.tgz files) will store
symlinks, but not follow them, but file-roller follows symlinks and
unexpectedly compresses all link targets along with the other data.

Please restore file-roller to use the default compression options.
