Maybe os.path.isfile('/bin/tar') would be sufficient to detect support for it, but I'm not sure it would bring any benefit to users of the addon, since it just defers the extraction until boot time.
I'll just keep it simple for now and leave it as it is.
No, you'd need to detect /bin/tar in the initramfs which you don't have access to once the system has booted. Probably right to keep it simple.
