Hello,

It doesn't seem so.

Here is the changelog entry:

  * [50,51] acl support
    - libacl1-dev build dependency
    - probably won't work on non-linux, patches welcome for hurd et al. if
      they break
  * [52] extended attribute support
    - libattr1-dev build dependency (still necessary with new libc?)
    - not sure about this one, it might come out (is it always valid to
      preserve ea's even if we don't know what they are for?)

I don't know more, it's probably worth checking whether that would
actually work.

Samuel
