[Bug-tar] broken symlinks in newer version

[Marlen Caemmerer]

Hello,

I use tar for backup and experienced something very strange.
If you do tar c /etc|tar xf - on a debian stable (version 1.27) all symlinks in 
rc0.d and alternatives are fine.
If you do so on debian unstable (version 1.29) you get broken symlinks in at 
least rc0.d.
I found out if I use tar c /etc|tar xfp - it works but I am not sure if this is 
a bug.
But I am afraid it might break some restore processes.

With kind regards,
nosy
