Hi, i would also like to have this possiblity, to use bsdtar as tar provider. Currently it is impossible to use it by bsdtar, becuase tar should in first place provide alternative to tar.
tar would be installed as /usr/bin/gnutar and then /usr/bin/tar will link to /etc/alternatives/tar which will link to /usr/bin/gnutar, using stanard Debian alternatives mechanism.
