Package: tar
Version: 1.11.8-1

I may be doing something wrong here, but reading the documentation
(such as it is) and the tar-1.11.8/scripts/level[01] files (and the
associated WARNING) file seems to suggest that this is what I should
do:

chiark:d>

(BTW, I want to use `tar' rather than `dump' because I don't want a
backup program that grobbles around in the raw disk !)
