fwiw the CRUX-Linux i use changed for its pkgmk

-               bsdtar -c $COMPRESSION -f $TARGET *  &&  bsdtar -t -v -f $TARGET
+               bsdtar --format=gnutar -c $COMPRESSION -f $TARGET *  &&  bsdtar -t -v -f $TARGET

in last April.  (Instead of reporting upstream issues with
tarballs, i took a look into libarchive iconv handling and it is
going miles and miles to be correct, but i cannot help it.  Now
they dump broken input 1:1 onto their filesystems.  Luckily i did
not use those packages.)
