[Bug 375798] Re: Please sync libtar (1.2.11-6) from Debian unstable

[Tony Espy]

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_MACRO_DIR([m4]) has been added to configure.ac

* 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.
