This is in regards to the Debian Bug 318805, which is actually a GNU bug,
not on the fault of the all holy Debian crew.

I don't know if you got a reply to this yet, but I had the same problem.
There is a workaround to this bug.  Change the command:

tar -cf $1 /home/user --exclude 'user/src/*'

To read:

tar --exclude 'user/src/*' -cf $1 /home/user

Apparently now the excludes have to come first on the command line now.
I've NEVER seen excludes come first.  Crazy eh?

 Tar no longer respects the --exlude option.  Here is a portion of
 the script that was working previously:

 tar -cf $1 /home/user --exclude 'user/src/*'

 I've tried multiple variations of this syntax, but nothing seems to work.

 Thanks,
 Bill
