retitle 602209 tar: Fails using '-C' option extracting archive with empty directories
thanks

Here's clarification of what the issue is. The new tar in unstable fails to
extract the empty directories inside an archive when using the '-C' option to
change directories. Here are the steps to reproduce with output.

Aside from affecting lintian when testing certain packages, this also affects
piuparts.

$ mkdir test
$ tar -czf test.tar.gz test/
$ tar -C /tmp -xzf test.tar.gz
tar: test: Cannot utime: No such file or directory
tar: test: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Downgrading tar "fixes" this, so it's probably a tar bug.  Maybe related
to #602209.
