Hi!
Looks like 'critical' is the wrong severity... those CVS-files do not
break berlin. I wondered wether having /usr/include/CVS was a policy
violation and asked a befriended debian maintainer. He said that this
issue is not only a policy violation but a critical bug. That's the only
reason why I set it to critical... as I wrote in my original post, I
have very little experience with all those debian internals. So it would
be great if I didn't end up packaging omniorb... but I will do it as I
need those debs. I'll propably need a while to catch up with all the
debian manuals out there.

Gruss,

PS: To which severity should I set it if it's not critical? Messing up
/usr/include is more then a 'normal' bug IMHO, even if it does not
break other applications..
