The first time I generated the darcs -upstream repository, I didn't include the CVS folders (because anyway it's a lintian error if they're present in the .orig.tar.gz). Thus, every time I want to "import" a CVS version into the darcs -upstream, I do: $ cd /path/to/package-upstream $ cvs update -d $ darcs add [any new files] $ darcs record -m "Import upstream $PACKAGE version $DATE $ darcs tag -m "UPSTREAM_$PACKAGE_$DATE Until now it worked without any problem.
