+tar (1.25-2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * accept a "hack" from Joey Hess to work around an unfortunate side effect 
+    of removing the patch to src/create.c regarding links of 100 chars in
+    1.23-4 that broke pristine-tar in some cases.  The "fix" is to support 
+    the old behavior if the environment variable TAR_LONGLINK_100 is set, 
+    which pristine-tar knows about and will use when necessary but which 
+    should never be used by anyone else!  closes: #603231
