Bug Description
tar.1 has the following error codes in my database of manpage glitches:
C Broken command synopsis syntax. This may mean you're using a
construction in the command synopsis other than the standard
[ ] | { }, or it may mean you have running text in the command synopsis
section (the latter is not technically an error, but most cases of it
are impossible to translate into DocBook markup), or it may mean the
command syntax fails to match the description.
V Missing body content in list trips up doclifter and is likely to
cause rendering problems in non-troff viewers. I have been able to fill
in what was missing except for what should be under TAR_LONGLINK_100.
A fix patch is attached.

Thank you for the patch. I noticed the attachement was not flagged as a patch, so I checked the patch flag for it.
Also, based on `dpkg -L tar` it looks like the manpage is part of the tar package, not tar-doc. I took the liberty of moving this report to that package.
