This seems to be part of the "users don't need menu entries because
nautilus does it when you click on a file" push. You can create or find a
menu entry by right-clicking the Applications menu and selecting the menu
editor. 

Here, it is under Accessories as Archive Manager ( command: file-roller ).
It is "hidden by default"... I am not currently looking at my Hardy
install, though, so it might be different.

There have been various flame wars ^w^w ... sorry, "reasoned debates in
the Ubuntu spirit" about these kinds of decisions ;)
