Finally some interesting discussion came out of this. I am not an expert on 
linux capability support, but Thomas has posted two blog entries about this in 
Arch: http://archlinux.me/brain0/2009/07/28/using-posix-capabilities-in-linux-
part-one/ and http://archlinux.me/brain0/2010/01/05/using-posix-capabilities-
in-linux-part-two/

In general this should work fine. The only problem is that bsdtar did not 
support storing those information (don't know if future versions support this) 
so one has to use install scripts to adjust the permissions after install.
