My initial assumption was that this was a side-effect of the recent
issues with lintian.d.o displaying output that was generated with a
mixture of old and new package lists, although I thought that had been
fixed in the last full run which finished a week or so ago.
In any case, I've checked the log of the currently running full Lintian
run on lintian.d.o and it contains no tags for the cvsd source package.

This appears to be one of a class of issues that occur because
lintian.d.o is running etch and using etch's man-db. Checking one of the
manpages directly on the machine produces the following output:

Running the same check on one of my sid machines (amd64) produces no
output.
