Package: tar
Version: 1.29b-1.1
Severity: normal

"man tar" says:

--preserve
              Same as both -p and -s.

But "tar" itself doesn't support this option:

$ tar --preserve -cf /tmp/a.tar /etc/fstab
tar: option '--preserve' is ambiguous; possibilities: '--preserve-permissions' 
'--preserve-order'
Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.
