Yes, and the reason should be clear from the cpio changelog:
,---
cpio (2.11-7) unstable; urgency=low
[…]
* Add a 'See Also' section to manpages mentioning cpio(5), and
Add a 'Suggests: libarchive1' for cpio(5). Closes: #588020.

In any case, I'm attaching a patch fixing this, because I also tripped
over this, as the Suggests on a shared library tend to trigger my
bogosity alarms. :)
Thanks,
