Dear tar maintainers,

this package currently uses debhelper with an ad-hoc sequence of steps in d/rules. This long list of steps can be shortened and greatly simplified by using the standard dh sequence.

You can find a MR that changes `d/rules` to use the standard dh sequence at:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tar/-/merge_requests/3

According to diffoscope, the generated `tar` binary package is identical to the current one. The `tar-scripts` binary package is slightly different because it contains a fix for https://bugs.debian.org/1050565

Regards,
