I cannot imagine that this is a problem of the rcs package.

It works for me :

dpkg -s rcs
Package: rcs
Status: install ok installed
Priority: standard
Section: devel
Maintainer: Sven Rudolph <sr1@inf.tu-dresden.de>
Version: 5.7
Revision: 1
Description: The GNU Revision Control System
 The  Revision  Control System (RCS) manages multiple
 revisions of files.  RCS  automates  the  storing,  retrieval,
 logging, identification, and merging of revisions.  RCS is
 useful for text that is revised  frequently,  for  example
 programs,  documentation,  graphics, papers, and form letters.


Any ideas?
