The tar packaging format was removed some time ago. Also, add some
minor grammatical tweaking.

Can you please also fix the other occurrences in the docs?

I could identify overview-manual/yp-intro.rst +179 and 
dev-manual/packages.rst +553.

Looks good to me otherwise.

This should be backported to scarthgap and more recent branches once 
merged as the commit (4022115a7124d3da6245f19d512ff3abe80ddd1e) that 
removed it was merged in Mickledore.

Cheers,
Quentin
