Package: cpio
Version: 2.6-17
Severity: wishlist

*** Please type your report below this line ***

The cpio package used to include a long and fairly comprehensive man
page. This made it easy to look up options quickly. In more recent
versions of the packge, the cpio man page has been truncated, and now
contains no useful descriptions whatsoever, choosing instead to simply
refer users to the info documentation. This is IMO not a replacement for
a decent man page.

Please restore the old version of the man page - the present version is
little better than not having a man page at all.
