Good point.  If you hard link the executable to 'tar' or 'cpio', it will
supposedly emulate those user interfaces.  But since we already have tar
and cpio packages in Debian, I don't do anything to try and deliver
those links.  So the right answer is to remove that text from the
package description, I think.
