Yes. Quanta depends on libcvsservice:

$ objdump -x `which quanta` | grep NEEDED | grep libcvss
  NEEDED      libcvsservice.so.0

 - and libcvsservice0 isn't much worth without cvs.

Both these depends are needed and will take quite some work to untangle.

As cvs isn't the biggest thing, I don't think it is worth spending time on 
untangling it. It will create quite some code work either in quanta to make 
libcvsservice loadable if it is present.

The point is that you need to insert a software for saving on a program of the
