Pass '-m -' to getfattr for including all extended attributes, because getfattr defaults to including only user.* extended attributes.

getfattr(1) man page says: -m pattern, --match=pattern Only include attributes with names matching the regular expression pattern. The default value for pattern is "^user\\.", which includes all the attributes in the user namespace. Specify "-" for including all attributes. Refer to attr(5) for a more detailed discussion of namespaces. getfattr without '-m -' (or '-m ".*"') is called here: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/tree/bin/ebuild-helpers/prepstrip?id=891926ba231380c4aa0768be0aa0ae1ed2bc6ae7#n36 This results in not preserving extended attributes outside of user namespace (e.g. security.capability attribute).
