 When I do a tar xzf tor-obfsproxy-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.3.20-alpha-1
 -dev-en-US.tar.gz I get
 {{{
 tar: A lone zero block at 146900
 }}}

 Shondoit pointed me at
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob/maint-2.3:/build-scripts
 /linux-alpha.mk#l381
 which is apparently how we build it.

 That led me to
 http://tardy.sourceforge.net/debian/tardy_1.26.D001-1_amd64.build
 where apparently the tardy tarball produces the same warning.

 Perhaps the tardy people don't like generating correctly formed tarballs?
