Well, IMHO, if the md5sums are OK in his side as the bug report states, and
tar still fails to unpack, he must have somehow managed to install a screwed
up tar or gzip (or md5sum) in both of his boxes;
Either that or md5sum is doing something REALLY stupid (or his mirror has a
corrupted file that matches the md5sum of the good one -- kinda unprobable).
The assumptions above assume that he can unpack and build debs of other
packages just fine.
