I contacted Joey privately, he isn't on this list, or wasn't. I
thought this might be intresting for others too, so I added a CC to
this list. I hope nobody minds.
You should have a look at Joey's work. Save the stuff below into a
file and do
export CVS_RSH=<file>
cvs -z5 -d :ext:cvs@kitenet.net:/home/cvs/repository checkout debconf

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# This program implements the client side of anonymous cvs over ssh.
# No more pserver! For details on how to use this and how it works,

# This is the Base64 encoded "private" key to use to access the server.
# It's not really private, of course, but it is a nasty binary file which
