It doesn't matter what tar was used to create the original tarball; as long as we know the files present in it, we can use a (necessarily stable version of) tar to generate a file that is substantially similar (same files, same order), and then xdelta to get the rest of the way to the original tarball. This is what pristine-tar does. -- see shy jo
