star
(http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/star.html)
should become the standard tar on Debian. GNU tar has lots of known
bugs and it's just ugly. No one is able to maintain GNU tar right
because it's an ugly hack, not beiing POSIX compliant and not even
generating correct tar archives by default. star does all this better
and has ACL support additionally ...

I will close this bug because it seems to be a bad idea to use star as
default. It has some strange implementation ideas and an upstream
maintainer who isn't realy interested in making it work in a usable
way on GNU systems but who mainly cares about solaris and *bsd.
