A new file by itself would be nice as it's self-contained. It's
particularly adding the new calls that would seem protentially
problematic.

Anyway if it seems sane I'll post a debdiff at some point hopefully
tomorrow. But given the importance of tar in general (meaning, if
there were regressions in 1.27 in trusty we would know about them)
I think backporting 1.27 to precise seems more sane than cherrypicking
something very intrusive and hoping we don't get weird side effects
or subtle bugs.
