This is a bit of a stupid question, but I don't use Ubuntu any more, and I don't know what program Ubuntu uses to make and extract archives, so: can anybody tell me?
EDIT: I mean the package name that apt-get uses

The package name is file-roller. This was discovered using apt-cache search "archive manager".
From the docs:
Description-en: archive manager for GNOME
File-roller is an archive manager for the GNOME environment. It allows you to:
.
* Create and modify archives.
* View the content of an archive.
* View a file contained in an archive.
* Extract files from the archive.
.
File-roller supports the following formats:
* Tar (.tar) archives, including those compressed with
gzip (.tar.gz, .tgz), bzip (.tar.bz, .tbz), bzip2 (.tar.bz2, .tbz2),
compress (.tar.Z, .taz), lzip (.tar.lz, .tlz), lzop (.tar.lzo, .tzo),
lzma (.tar.lzma) and xz (.tar.xz)
* Zip archives (.zip)
* Jar archives (.jar, .ear, .war)
* 7z archives (.7z)
* iso9660 CD images (.iso)
* Lha archives (.lzh)
* Single files compressed with gzip (.gz), bzip (.bz), bzip2 (.bz2),
compress (.Z), lzip (.lz), lzop (.lzo), lzma (.lzma) and xz (.xz)
.
File-roller doesn't perform archive operations by itself, but relies on
standard tools for this.
Homepage: http://fileroller.sourceforge.net/
It is an application to manage/extract/create archives like: .tar, .gz, .zip, etc.

The default application for extracting and compressing archives in Ubuntu is called Archive Manager.
