Bug Description
This is just a minor mistake, but still worth correcting, I think.
In the man page for tar_1.29b-2_amd64 and also tar_1.30+
tar cfv a.tar /etc
which creates the archive a.tar. In the text, however, it is said to create the file etc.tar.

This has been fixed upstream and is part of the 1.32 version of tar, which is not yet in Ubuntu or Debian.
