GNU tar >= 1.27 is required for --owner=NAME:ID and --group=NAME:ID. And fails
to build .deb packages with error:

| dpkg-deb: building package 'linux-libc-headers-dbg' in '.../tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/linux-libc-headers/4.19-r0/deploy-debs/i586/linux-libc-headers-dbg_ 4.19-r0.0_i386.deb'.
| tar: root\:0: Invalid owner
| tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
| dpkg-deb: error: tar -cf subprocess returned error exit status 2

Tweak tar options in dpkg-deb source code to make it work on old machines.

Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [cross build specific]
