This is gone from unstable now, so you can now remove libtar.
I am raising the severity so that the package gets autoremoved and will stay 
out of trixie.
Please lower the severity if you want to keep it in.

Bug#1072586: RM: libtar -- RoQA; Abandoned upstream

[Bastian Germann]

Source: libtar
Severity: wishlist
Control: block -1 by 1072585

Upstream last touched libtar more than a decade ago.
It should be removed from Debian.
There is only one reverse dependency (see blocks) that can move away from 
libtar now.
