Comment 4 for bug 456405

No, it’s relatively easy to add the format to paxtar, it just needs time to be done.
(Also, the heirloom stuff doesn’t integrate tar and the other improvements, and
I don’t want to have to audit its mix of licences. Switching implementations isn’t
something easily done.)

The LSB people agreed to not press this issue, and may even waive the pax format
(which doesn’t mean we won’t eventually add it, as I really want it, too).
