MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kde-servicemenus-unarchiver
[2]:

I suggest this old .desktop link from 2015 intended for KDE's default
Dolphin file manager and the Unarchiver CLI package last updated in
2020 can be safely deleted.

Today the Dolphin file manager works perfectly with KDE's default
archive manager tool, Ark, which supports a wide range of archive file
formats and it even has multiple alternative optional dependencies
that support the LZO format specifically. Unarchiver is not the best
choice for that IMHO, because it is unmaintained. But Ark can directly
use the Unarchiver package from Arch, one only has to install the
latter as an optional dependency, no other setup needed. With Ark
installed, Dolphin file manager's file/directory context menu offers
Compress and Extract options (where relevant).

Therefore this old plug-in link package is more limited that what KDE
today offers by default, in terms of archive file support.
