Sure and since it's a script we can see that "dest=$1".

No, IIRC I just run  tgz --help  and  man tgz  , maybe I run  tgz  too,
but an empty $1 would have caused an exit.

case $dest in
"" | . | .. | */ | */. | */.. )
	echo "Usage: $0: [destination [source...] ]" >&2
	exit 1

Anyway, it's not important, nothing was damaged and I purged the package.
