Please unblock package cpio-doc

This is a bit of a long shot, but if you are minded it would be a good
thing. Sledge told me to file this in case you see fit as RMs to
include it.

due to #695717, the info pages for cpio were removed. (see #704121)
cpio is very hard to use without its info pages as the options are
cryptic in the extreme, and the (included) man page is minimal
(crucially not explaining all the options).

So I made a cpio-doc page to include the info page, just like tar-doc
(from which the packaging was stolen).

It would be very nice if jessie had a cpio-doc package to go with its
cpio package so that people could actually use cpio.

But of course that makes this a new package at a very late stage(!)

But then it's a doc-package in non-free so very harmless.

Anyway, if you like the idea and are able to fast-track it in, I'm
sure a lot of people would thnk you. Otherwise no worries - it's at
least done for unstable. 

unblock cpio-doc/2.11-1

This can't make it before things are switched off; sorry. Backport might be
fruitful, or possibly p-u, but please look at that after release and once
NEW is processed.
