I guess it's common to resort to peeking inside to know what it is.
You could argue that the bz2 file should be called none.cpio.bz2 right?
Or I guess you could shorten it to none.cz2 ala .tgz files.

Or you could encode the format in the pkginfo file, but that would
be a waste at this point.  Unless it's already there...

Should I file an RFE for zip-encoded SYSV packages?
