Description

I want to create a link with a leading slash and put it in a tar archive (Debian package).

The following constructors are provided

public TarArchiveEntry(String name, boolean preserveLeadingSlashes)
public TarArchiveEntry(String name, byte linkFlag)

but there is no

public TarArchiveEntry(String name, byte linkFlag, boolean preserveLeadingSlashes)

so I have to overwrite the name using setName(String) which is not very clean.
