How would one express such a dependency though, given that it could come from tar or busybox? "Virtual" runtime dependencies aren't allowed except through our somewhat awkward VIRTUAL-RUNTIME convention, but that probably isn't warranted here. busybox could RRPOVIDE tar?
If we go down that road, we'd end up with a busybox that RPROVIDES a hundred and one utilities. I doubt anyone will be happy with that...
