[Bug 1313550] Re: ping does not work as a normal user on trusty tarball cloud images.

[Stéphane Graber]

So yeah, my understanding is that --xattr is broken at the moment, we should fix that as an SRU but we also have the problem that:
 1) It's not set by default in either create or extract mode
 2) Not all tar implementations we use support it
 3) Not all version of gnu-tar we support have it

So as long as we don't get this fixed, we shouldn't rely on xattrs
working in tarballs and should investigate alternative methods of
shipping and setting those attributes.
