After downgrading to patch 2.7.1-6 from jessie, I'm able to unpack the
source just fine.

I suspect some of the recent CVE fixes to be the cause, but haven't
looked deeply into the issue.

I may be able to work around the issue in u-boot by adjusting the
patch, but this may affect other packages as well and result in FTBFS
in security updates and binNMUs.

FWIW, I've filed a more detailed bug on u-boot specifically:
