  Native source packages are sometimes created by accident. In most cases

+Tag: source-tar-is-posix-tar
+Type: error
+Info: The source tar archive of this package is made with tar --posix. This
+ tar format is actually not understood by woody's tar.
+ .
+ Some automake 1.7 and 1.8 versions in Debian had this wrong tar option for a
+ short time, re-autobuilding should solve this. Please see
+ http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/debian-devel-200404/msg01376.html
