Sorry, that was copypasta from a previously-reported bug. ng and gnunet
both have bugs of this class. This one, #993275, is about ng's use of
cp and ls. The similar bug about gnunet's use of ifconfig is #993249.

I don't know what ng is or how to test it, only how to build it and
throw it at diffoscope, so I'm unlikely to do a QA upload.

Looking at its package tracker page, it seems to be an Emacs-style
editor with CJK input support, and hasn't had an upstream release since
2003. I have to question whether this is something we really want in
the distribution, if nobody either inside or outside Debian wants to
maintain it...
