Dear Maintainer, We recently noticed a failure when testing against debian-testing in the CI for the Cockpit project. One of our test cases attempts to create a virtual machine image and fails with a message about cpio not being available. The cause appears to be that virt-install requires cpio (it shells out to it from /usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installerinject.py) but the package doesn't list it as a dependency (or even a recommends).
