Yuck!

Looks like I'll have to say goodbye to my practice of building in a
virgin changeroot, or that I'll have to modify my scripts to put the
upstream tarball where cvs-buildpackage expects it to be :-(

This is also clearly documented in the man page, where I must have
missed it. Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.
