Package: tar
Version: 1.26-3
Severity: normal

tar can use remote tape drives by invoking rmt via an rsh-like program,
most commonly ssh.  Other programs in Debian that can use an rsh-like
program default to ssh; for instance, rsync uses ssh by default.  Please
consider having tar default to ssh rather than rsh.
