Hi, I'd like to request a freeze exception for tar 1.20-1.
The reason is that lzma support was introduced in this version, and lzma will be more and more important (developers have started to use lzma-compressed tarballs instead of bzip2, see e.g. texinfo). Though there are workarounds, they have drawbacks, and it would be quite annoying to have an obsolete version of tar in lenny. Also, tar 1.20-1 has been in unstable since 2008-04-17, so should have been well-tested.
