I just ran across a discussion in the Debian bug tracking system where
the change in output between 1.26 and 1.27 was causing problems:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=726963
     "cannot reproduce several *.tar.xz files (possibly tar issue?)"

                                                        Nathan
