OK, I understood the hesitation.

You mean, I should press the ubuntu packager to use built-in libarchive, instead of using
the the "approved" brand new libarchive version already there? What should I expect as an answer
from them?

My opinion is: this libarchive will (sooner or later) find it's way to other platforms as well, and also in
cmake's own sources.

We already reacted once (changing archive_write_set_format_ustar() to archive_write_set_format_pax_restricted()).

Never mind, I did not want to be importunate ...
