OS package metadata file name is in base64 encoded format

[bsalunke]

How to reproduce the issue:

Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless.git

run build command
bazel build //package_manager:dpkg_parser.par

Build a container image
bazel run //java:java11_debian10

The docker image build after above step is:
bazel/java java11_debian10 26e61d7dd5a1 50 years ago 200MB

When I saved this image as tar and extracted the image file system from tar file.
In the base layer file system I found the OS package file names are in base65 encoded format.

docker save 26e61d7dd5a1 -o 26e61d7dd5a1.tar

tar -xvf 26e61d7dd5a1.tar

In base layer file system, the OS package file name is base64 encoded,

$ ls
