Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

we found that latest version of cpio is breaking some tests 
(sbuild/unshare-qemuwrapper) for some packages in migration (i.e. openssh) for 
the next Ubuntu series, due to the following change:

  * Move files to /usr
Patch by Helmut Grohne 
Closes: #1059756

It seems the path should be refreshed accordingly to the movement to
/usr in the prerm and the postinst too.

I reported the bug 2052295 in Ubuntu [1]. I made a patch for it which was 
already applied in Ubuntu. I attach it here for your consideration in case if 
helps in Debian too.

Thanks in advance, 

Miriam (mirespace)
