appropriate.

I really, really, miss this feature! Is there a way to re-enable it?

Why on Earth was it removed?

I guess this kind of things depends on personal preference and the kind of archives you get to deal with. Personally, I like it better without this feature. You can read some discussion on why it has been changed back in the bug report (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167261) and it's comments. If you'd like the old file-roller back, you can re-install the non-backports version in synaptic (package menu -> force version).
