Ok, let me explain better.

I know that the recent tar and cpio are separate packages. What I would to say 
is:
there is a public page which provides paxutils, and it says:
"Presently the three projects: tar, cpio and paxutils are under active 
development"
so, apart that I know where the more recent tar/cpio are, you should better 
expain there that the utilities provided by paxutils, atm are bugged.
