Fuse-zip is gone from Ubuntu 26.04 lts

Ubuntu Version:
Example: 26.04 LTS

Problem Description:
Just discovered this after recently migrating to the latest lts and suddenly my scripts failed. The man pages also confirm this.

I don’t see a question, or support issue, except maybe you’re after a reason as to why it was removed. That is its no longer maintained.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1122393

Please remove fuse-zip from Debian.

It was recently orphaned and removed from Testing.

Its last upstream release was in 2021. It still uses the old fuse, which will not be included in Debian 14. fuse 3 was originally released 9 years ago. upstream has a todo item to support fuse 3 from 2019.
