Neither do I. I am maintainer of GNU cpio and am not in any way related
or connected to Debian.

Yes, it does. But whether and when it will make it further into
particular distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, etc.) does
not depend on me. It depends only on people that package these
distributions.

This bug has been fixed in the cpio repository. No official versions
have been released since then. I plan to release next version by the
end of this month. It will be available, as usual, from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio. If you wish, I can prepare a test tarball
for you.
