cpio is probably not necessarily needed by the average user, but as far as I know it's needed to uncompress or read the content of the initrd (e.g. xzcat kernel26.img | cpio -t), which sometimes can be necessary for debugging purposes. So I'm not sure if cpio must be kept in the base group but it should stay in [core].

bsdtar can be used for that purpose.
