But then the package would have to pre-depend on cpio, which isn't even a
`required' or `essential' package. I think this is a bad thing to use in
a {pre,post}{inst,rm} script.
`fileutils', which holds cp, is an essential package on any Debian system.
So no matter what hardware Debian will be ported to, it will always have a
GNU cp. Or else it will not be a Debian system.
