Well you assume that all source packages are from an external upstream.
That is not always the case. In fact many of the packages I maintain
(like java-common, harden etc) is generated from a cvs dir. It is very
convenient. How can you exclude the CVS dirs from the source package then?
Well I can export on every build but that takes quite a lot of time.
I like to build from the normal cvs dir.
