The "open with..." Actiob was not removed. Instead it was changed from a
submenu into a dialog, which provides more options and allows searching for
the app by typing.

Those used to be added by a nautilus extension provided by file-roller.

I don't know if Debian shipped that extension in thefile-roller package or
as a separate package.

The compress action was removed from that extension because it duplicated
the new compress action which is now built-in.

I guess you could workaround this by installing an older version of the
file-roller extension, or reverting that git commit which removed the
compress action and compiling it from source.

The safe way, though, is to open file-roller directly, although not as
convenient. Or Nautilu scripts.
