Hi Matthias,
After speaking with Kees Cook and Sean Finney in 
#debian-security we all agreed that this *is* indeed a 
security issue even if upstream does not agree here.
It is a valid argument that a user is supposed to extract a 
tar archive in a secure way. It is not the job of the user 
to take care of directory traversal logic via path names or  
symlinks with examining the tar archive first.
Thus readding the security tag.

Kind regards
Nico
