Is it normal than busybox's tar does not support gzip/bzip2 archives
anymore?

FYI, this was present on MS5-rc2 as well, but not on Om2008.12:
=====

This orribly breaks the Debian install.sh at

  http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/freerunner/install.sh

The problem is not only for the tar calls in the script, but IIRC dpkg
internally uses `tar -zx` when installing Debian packages.  I fear this
is an upstream (i.e. busybox) change, but I have not checked yet.

Thx, bye,
