Hi,

I would also like to see this issue fixed. I can confirm the bug on a squeeze host using a backported fakeroot 1.18.4-2 .

The scenario where I find ACLs useful is a shared build host where several people have access. I set up default ACLs to give everyone write permissions, and now (in theory) everyone can build packages out of the same build tree without having to resort to something like "sudo chown...".

Example:

$ fakeroot cp -p README README.copy
cp: preserving permissions for `README.copy': Operation not supported

$ getfacl README
# file: README
# owner: foo
# group: foo
user::rw-
group::r--
group:src:rw-
mask::rw-
other::r--

$ getfacl README.copy
# file: README.copy
# owner: david
# group: david
user::rw-
group::r-x                      #effective:r--
group:src:rwx                   #effective:rw-
mask::rw-
other::r--

Thanks,
~David
