Yeah, really.

Subject: cpio should have non-verbose, null-separated archive list option
Precedence: air-mail

Package: cpio
Version: 2.3-2

The manpage for cpio says that the -0 flag causes cpio to expect a
null-separated list of filenames on stdin.

However, when listing the contents of an archive, there appears to be
no way to produce a null-terminated list.  It also produces the output
`<n> block(s)' on stderr, which is undesirable in some situations.
There should be a way to disable it.

Ian.
