Ouch! Nonzero? That’s harsh, and bad as it’s impossible to distinguish
between error and declining to copy/move.
There is a good example in diff(1) for how to handle this better:
use distinct errorlevels for each case.
Michael, could you perhaps throw that upstream?

Where do we stand on this after coreutils 9.4-3? The autopkgtest is
failing, but I think at this point that's bogus (because of the new
deprecation warning), and the functionality is actually ok?
