FUD (IMHO) He is calling tar as root, so the defaults are different,
no need to specify same-owner etc. And that feature tha is missing is
the ability to extract hardlinked files by any name. Only the first
name will work, but this is okee as the next name will only be linked
to the first, and that one is extracted if you extract all in one go.

Maybe --sparse and --one-file-system might be usefull, but I would
rather trust the names of owners and not their numbers to remain
the same over different debian distributions. Ofcourse it would be
advisable to first copy/adjust /etc/passwd etc.

Yes, and consider using tar's -C option for this.
