Package: tar
Version: 1.15.91-1
Severity: critical
Justification: makes apt-listchanges unusable

When apt-listchanges tries to extract changelogs, it hits new "feature" of tar 1.15.91 which forbids wildcards in filenames, and so it fails to do anything as it finds no changelog:

...

Please, if you must introduce some new options, make '--wildcards' default so you do not change behavior in backward incompatible way. Or, if you are absolutely sure that no other program on the world besides apt-listchanges depends on this behavior, feel free to reassign this to apt-listchanges. But I'm absolutely sure that apt-listchanges is not only program which depends on this behavior (as I've written couple of tools which depend on this as well)...
                                                Thanks,
                                                        Petr Vandrovec
