Not really. We can still just check that the current version is all right,
and then gradually proofread the history. Besides, it's doubtful that an
intruder put something in an unused branch of CVS history in debian-doc that
wouldn't be detected quickly (gobs of warez would sorta tend to stand out
among small and not numeorous pieces of documentation).
