I agree with you - IMO it isn't.

... and buggy or/and incompatible with GNU tar (star was invoked as `gnutar' 
in this case). I wasted a lot of time, when I tried to build kdevelop - star 
has problems with processing multiple arguments:
gnutar -cf gnu.tar -C ./gnu AUTHORS  COPYING \
    ChangeLog  INSTALL  NEWS  README  TODO
gnutar: No such file or directory. Cannot stat 'ChangeLog'.
gnutar: No such file or directory. Cannot stat 'INSTALL'.
gnutar: No such file or directory. Cannot stat 'NEWS'.
gnutar: No such file or directory. Cannot stat 'README'.
gnutar: No such file or directory. Cannot stat 'TODO'.

In the end I've added `BC: star' to kdevelop.spec. So star it isn't a good 
reason for using macro %__tar instead plain command ;).
