Why p7zip isn't updated about 4 Ubuntu major releases?

[Alexandre Strube]

As you said, taken from debian. You might contact Debian's maintainer, and
if he/she updates it, the package will be updated on Ubuntu too, everyone
gets happy and the world, a better place. If the maintainer is not
interested anymore, perhaps you could take over and become the maintainer
for Debian...
