    Hi Dara :)

    I'm aware of this. I could send a patch, but I'm afraid it will
be silently ignored :(( And you're right: a change to normal severity
won't affect the bug. What I was telling is just that, no matter if
this is an enhancement or a bug, it should be fixed and not rely on
'tar'. If you think it will be accepted, I can prepare a trivial
patch making 'install-headers-cp' default instead of
'install-headers-tar', or even add an 'install-headers-pax' (a friend
of mine sent a patch with this a few days ago). I can even prepare a
more complete patch with detection or things like those, if I can
afford the time.

    Thanks a lot for your interest :)
