Bug Description
Binary package hint: libtar
Please sync libtar (1.2.11-6) from Debian unstable.
The current version in karmic is 1.2.11-5ubuntu1 which includes a single change:
libtar (1.2.11-5ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low
* Use autoreconf instead of calling the individual bits, which is far too
fragile. Create an aclocal.m4 that refernces the included macros,
including the libtool ones that are pulled in to the source package.

This change can be dropped as the newer Debian version essentially contains the same fix:
libtar (1.2.11-6) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix autotools usage (Closes: #511741)

I also wanted to add a comment re: the fact that the Debian fix is *slightly* different than the fix implemented by James:
* the local macros ( libtool.m4, ltsugar.m4, etc... ) are added to the dir /m4 as opposed to the /autoconf dir
* the top-level aclocal.m4 file also references these files using the prefix /usr/share/aclocal. This works due to the fact that the macro AC_CONFIG_
* the debian/rules file leaves in a copy of the config files from /usr/share/misc, and also slightly cleans up the make clean target
* configure is also modified; my guess is that this was a mistake; since configure is re-generated due to the changes made to debian/rules, this should be harmless.
I've added the two .patch files generated by MoM for reference.
