Bug#487433: tar creation support for live-installer



Package: busybox-udeb
Severity: normal

Tar creation support should be enabled in the udeb. A test build on
amd64 shows this uses about 4k (should be smaller on i386):

 -rwxr-xr-x 1 joey joey 233K Jun 21 15:47 busybox*
 -rwxr-xr-x 1 joey joey 237K Jun 21 15:49 busybox.tar-c*

Reason: live-installer needs to create a tar file. Currently it is
chrooting to the live filesystem to run tar c there. Howerver, not all
live filesystems will have support for tar c either, so it would be best
if it could use d-i's tar.
