fileutils in debian unstable

[Daniel]

this is concerning fileutils 4.1 as found in the debian unstable
distribution.

problem: cp

cp -r dereferences symbolic links. (-d should do this).

mkdir temp/test
ln -s ~/.bashrc temp/test/blah
cp -r temp/ new

new/test contains a symbolic link to .bashrc
which is not what it sohuld contain.
