I downloaded:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/6.0.1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-
amd64-netinst.iso

$ bsdtar -C CD/ -xf debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso

$ file CD/install.amd/vmlinuz 
CD/install.amd/vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 
2.6.32-5-amd64 (unknown@Debian), RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA

bsdtar and libarchive are all 2.8.4-1 in stable, testing and unstable.
