The new tar is conflicting with cpio?! That doesn't sound right. Perhaps you can try to ask the maintainer of tar what his/her motivation for making that change was. If there is no real good reason. BUT FIRST, let's go to the Debian Bugtracking website to see what's up:

Found a bug in /usr/share/fai/subroutines:get_dhcp_info(). The call to grep is passed the $bootlog instead of the $dhcplog variable. As a result, the installation hangs, waiting for stdin and EOF because there was not $bootlog defined. The patch is attached. -- Chad C. Walstrom [EMAIL
