Since only bf_tar uses it, and bf_tar is hardly required for bogofilter
use, I'm reluctant to raise the dependency strength.  Since GNU tar is
Essential and pax is only optional, I'd be tempted to patch bf_tar to
use tar instead.

Things will get even more interesting if GNU paxutils ever gets
released.
