FWIW, the "S" flag means:
Do not apply transformation to symbolic link targets.
(see https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/transform.html
-- it's a bit hard to find in the docs ...)
In my use case, this allows me to build a dist archive from my main
source directory, adding a directory level in the tar, while leaving
symlinks unchanged:
--transform='s|^|$(DIST_NAME)/|S'
This is not a fully general solution to the problem as I described,
and it may or may not help for your use case.
Viele Grüße,
Frank
