It would be a serious bug, except the necessary version of tar had been in squeeze for more than a year already. What version of tar were you using when you ran into this? (/var/log/dpkg.log should say.) What error message did you get from aptitude when problems arose? (I think aptitude keeps this kind of information somewhere in /var/log, such as aptitude.log or term.log, but I'm not sure.)
