Someone tells me that cogito use the 'merge' program from the rcs
package. So I added this dependency. But I do not know if the latest
cogito software still need it.

Thanks, I just add them

This is due to the automatic dependencies generation by cdbs. See my
"debian/control.in" file. cdbs uses it to generate "debian/control".

Someone else does a ITP, so I will not include this pacakge in Debian
myself. I think I will continue to propose this package until it appairs
in the Debian sid distribution. Now I did it, I just need to type
"uscan ; cd .. ; make debian ; make install" to get an uptodate package
when a new version is available...

  Best,
