Bug#605048: tla: Using deprecated --preserve option to tar



Package: tla
Version: 1.3.5+dfsg-15
Severity: minor

tla is using the deprecated --preserve option for tar to preserve both
permissions and order. This generates a deprecation warning from tar in
Debian Squeeze (GNU tar 1.23). Severity is minor because in spite of the
warning, tar still works, but severity could be greater if --preserve is
eventually removed.
