No problem. As you said, it's open source. So make it *your* top
priority and write the code to 'fix' the 'problem' that you believe to
exist. If it were a top priority for the lead developer (Craig) or for
any of the other many users and contributors, they would have for sure
written the code themselves. Alternatively, you can of course offer to
pay someone to write the code for you...

Meanwhile, the rest of us have been quite content with 'rsync' for
tracking deleted files or with tar without deleted file coverage...

Feel free to write a module to handle 'dtar'. Other users have
contributed modules in the past (I believe the 'ftp' interface was
written that way). Beyond that, I haven't seen anyone else mention
'dtar' let alone express an interest in using it so I doubt you will
find much interest in anyone else developing it.

Don't hold your breath unless you plan to contribute yourself...
