Description
The packages created with the pkg_tar rule are always in the GNU tar format, since #601.
It should be possible to create archive in the pax format.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the pkg_tar rule and tracing where its archive format is selected. Inspect nearby tests or rule arguments, then add coverage showing that pax can be selected while GNU remains supported; done means pkg_tar can create both requested formats.
