Why not just use bsdtar? libarchive/bsdtar has supported rpm archives for long time now, I don't see the point of this script anymore.

Then would need to fix it in all packages that use this and there are dozens of such packages...

The fix is as simple as removing it from the makedeps and removing the command.
