Which of the two? (Or three, to count the .tar file produced by
$ git archive.)

I hope to come with a suitable addition for
test/automated/package-test.el shortly. Or do you suggest
adding a test suite for tar-mode as well?
FTR, the two changes I suggest are not /inter/dependent, so I
intend to push them as two separate commits. (And I wonder if
eit makes sense to now file a separate Severity: wishlist bug
report for tar-header-extractable-p, so to provide a somewhat
extended background for the feature.)
> Failing that, please describe how you tested these changes.
I’ve tested these using my MW package, like:
• C-x b *new-buffer* RET;
• M-x cd RET ~/devel/mw-el-2015/ RET;
• C-u M-! git archive --prefix=mw-0.2/ --format=tar
HEAD 2> /dev/null RET;
• M-x tar-mode RET;
• M-x package-install-from-buffer RET.
> Otherwise, I have no comments, and no objections to commit this, once
> we are sure it doesn't break anything.
ACK, thanks.
