It might be, but as long as Ubuntu doesn't offer an alternative that works as users expect it --- since Ubuntu is desktop-oriented, there are some things people expect --- it's an Ubuntu problem.

We don't even tell people the program in question is File-Roller. We call it "Archive manager". For anyone that's not very familiar with computer insides, that's "Ubuntu's archive manager".

I agree that this might need upstream attention, but what's an Ubuntu bug if this isn't one? I mean, if a program distributed by default on all Ubuntu distributions works badly because of upstream, isn't that an Ubuntu problem too? (What if it looks ugly? What if it looks defective? (like this one) What if it deletes hard-drives?)
