Running rpm --rebuilddb before generating tar archive will save about 14MB of image size.

$ docker run -it --rm centos:7
[root@97deac1d468c /]# du -hs /var/lib/rpm

[root@97deac1d468c /]# rpm --rebuilddb

Thank you @aleksey-mashanov for mentioning command, which I didn't know. This saved 87 MB from our image.
