they are included because sorcery uses them. I am not aware of any rpms that 
we use but I don't have detailed knowledge of all 2500+ spells, and unlike 
xdelta and PATCH, where xdelta was only looked for if PATCH was set, I 
believe sorcery has integrated support for rpmunpack and cpio, so they should 
probably stay.
