Actually, Ubuntu seems to ship with dash as the default shell, and we had
quite some fallout from that change.
As for GNU tar, I think that this is easily fixable if you have access to
non-GNU tar. We do not use tar _ever_, except for the test suite, to
verify that things are working as expected.
If you could put in some time to make the tests work, that would be
awesome.
Ciao,
Dscho
