as Julien and me found out, tar works only if either ssh is installed or
the correct enviroment variables are set. As ssh is not installed per
default in buildd enviroment we need to patch the rules-file to get the
correct enviroment variables set.

So, no, binNMU is not enough (only if you can persue all buildd
maintainers to install ssh inside the changeroot per default ;) )
