Manoj, you're getting forgetful.
This seems to be a cvs bug. See
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/24/24585.html. IN case you're lazy, the
output is below showing the bug. *sigh* I wish the cvs maintainer
wasn't such a slacker.
Maybe you could work around it. cvs-buildpackage has never worked for
me, BTW, on client/server CVS.
Manoj, I'd be happy to point you to my CVS area there and you could
see for yourself.
