Bug Description

Running perf in 16.04 returns:
``
 usage: perf [--version] [--help] [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]

 The most commonly used perf commands are:
   annotate Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code
   archive Create archive with object files with build-ids found in perf.data file
...

```

```
perf version 4.15.18
```

However `perf archive` returns:

```
perf: 'archive' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.
```

It appears that the archive script is somehow missing from the package.
