Debian and Ubuntu install tar in /bin. This is the same in ptxdist when
BUSYBOX_TAR is selected. If CONFIG_TAR is selected ptxdist installs tar
to /usr/bin.

All the different unices I remember from the last two decades had tar
in /bin (as it's considered system util), so I'm in favour of that.
OTOH, some folks in ptxdist world might be expecting the standalone tar
in /usr/bin - so, perhaps make it configurable.
An interesting question is whether there could be any reason for having
both of them on one system. Maybe systems w/ optional packages, where
only some users in the field might install the full tar, if bb'es
trimmed-down one isn't sufficient.

Since the /usr merge, this discussion is obsolete.

With the next version of my BSP I will test the /usr merge. From that point this discussion and my patch are really obsolete now.
