The problem is not that it breaks our scripts -- it's different for every end user of tar as well! So if I'm used to using 'tar xIvf linux-2.4.0-test11.tar.bz2', that no longer works. Instead it's 'tar xjvf ...' Which is no better or worse than -I, except that it's different for reasons which don't apply to Debian.
