I have the image, how can I get it to you privately to test? (Or
alternatively, I can test it with the new version if you have a link?)

Title:
  cpio in Busybox 1.27 ingnores "unsafe links"

Bug description:
  Description:    Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)
  Release:        18.04

  busybox:
    Installed: 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu3
    Candidate: 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu3

  3) Expected my CPIO archive to be fully extracted with proper symlinks
  Command: unxz < /rootfs.cxz | cpio -i

  4) 'Unsafe' symlinks were ignored such as:

  sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd

  With the broken 1.27 sbin/init does not get created at all and my
  debirf initrd fails to load/boot properly.

  1.22 from Xenial works.
  GNU Cpio also works.

  It looks like 1.28 adds an env var to override this behavior:

  libarchive: do not extract unsafe symlinks unless
  $EXTRACT_UNSAFE_SYMLINKS=1
