Bug#4262: dpkg-source requires cpio

["Susan G. Kleinmann" <sgk@sgk.tiac.net>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.3.8

In unpacking the sgmlspm dsc file on a fairly fresh system, I found:

# dpkg-source -x sgmlspm_1.03ii-2.dsc 
dpkg-source: failure: exec cpio: No such file or directory
dpkg-source: failure: cpio gave error exit status 2
# type -a cpio
type: cpio: not found

Installing cpio cured the problem, but suggests that the newest
versions of dpkg need to depend on cpio, which (I think) means that
cpio would have to be added to base.
