Sorry, what is problem with GNU tar? If you want to replace it another
tar implementation (i.e. star), then make use the current tar package
using alternatives system, and all other *tar packages will have to
provide at least a wrapper to make the command line options of this *tar
compatible with tar. Anyone against this proposal?
Same for /bin/sh: today, it is allready a symlink to a ash compatible
shell. I think, if a script uses some bash-specific stuff, the
maintainer has to define explicitely #!/bin/bash as the interpreter in
his script and define a dependency to the bash package.
Gr{us,eeting}s,
Eduard.
