Does not output a tar record for the created "lib"directory, just for the entries under it:

The only alternative seems to be to create a lib directory somewhere and use a fileset to copy it over before the dependencySet

**Affects:** 2.5.3

Start by reproducing the assembly configuration shown in the report, using the dependency set with outputDirectory ./lib and tar/tbz2 formats. Inspect the archive-generation path to determine why the created lib directory has no tar record; done means the archive contains an entry for lib as well as its dependency files.
