Could you please drop or replace Debian -- Details of package rar in stretch since nonfree?

For libre choices we have either unrar-free or unar.

Unar supports more recent versions of the format, but is larger and has more deps.

Done.

@HulaHoop

Currently, both packages are installed. Is there any difference regarding the number of supported file formats or is one retundant?

unrar-free is redundant because it supports a smaller feature-set of unar
