The new tar 1.29 release (which is available on fink tracker at
https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/package-submissions/4664/) passes its test
suite cleanly on x86_64-apple-darwin15 but causes fink to exhibit broken
behavior when installed. The problem is that, when a package is built under
the new tar 1.29 release, the creation of the build-lock misplaces the
DEBIAN control directory at the root level. This creates debs that
incorrectly have the DEBIAN control directory placed at root as well and
thus all conflict with each other.
We should try to puzzle out if the tar hacks used in dpkg.patch really
valid and, if so, try to create a stand-alone test case to report back
upstream to the bug-tar mailing list (as this glitch isn't being captured
by their current test suite).

ps The main changes I see here are...
- execlp(TAR,"tar","-cf", "-", "-T", "-", "--null", "--no-recursion",
(char*)0);
+ execlp(TAR,"tar","-cf", "-", "--null", "-T", "-", "--no-recursion",
(char*)0);
for dpkg-1.10.21/dpkg-deb/build.c.
