No-one ever inquired about this feature. Due to the way it works, it is
rather unlikely that every user used a properly-formatted tarball, or a
properly structured directory as imput.
Beside, it is not really easy to maintain: I just spent one full day
remembering how it worked... Sigh... :-(
Just deprecate this, until next release, or until someone complains.
