Why do you need all this. You can write whatever you want less to do in 
lesspipe.sh.
The Debian version that i've send to you also decode *.arj, *.deb, *.doc, 
*.gif|*.jpeg|*.jpg|*.pcd|*.png|*.tga|*.tiff|*.tif, *.iso, *.lha|*.lzh, 
*.pdf, *.rar|*.r[0-9][0-9], *.rpm *.jar|*.war|*.ear|*.xpi|*.zip, *.7z, 
 *.zoo

But even there it's not enabled by default.
