I was confused for a second, seeing that we already ship a cpio binary
including a cpio man page until I realized that the cpio (and tar) man
page provided by libarchive-dev describe the formats and not the command
line utilities.

I know this is bike-shedding, but maybe phrasing it like this makes this
even more obvious?

"Man pages describing the cpio, tar and various other achive formats can
be found in the libarchive-dev package."

(I know that section 5 is for formats and conventions, it still took me
a second to notice that)
