Actually, Ubuntu seems to ship with dash as the default shell, and we had 
quite some fallout from that change.

As for GNU tar, I think that this is easily fixable if you have access to 
non-GNU tar.  We do not use tar _ever_, except for the test suite, to 
verify that things are working as expected.

If you could put in some time to make the tests work, that would be 
awesome.

Ciao,
