This is why LRP tgz files do not have absolute filenames (take a look at the
output of tar -t package.lrp). Since the filenames are missing the leading
/ to make them absolute, just untar them somewhere OTHER than your root
directory, (like /tmp), and you'll have no worries about overwriting
important system files.
