Nearly all Debian packages should be pristine; if you can do that, you
should.  If upstream *only* exists in CVS, then you can't really, and
you can run that command before creating your orig tarball.  If
upstream has a real tarball, though, then please use it :)

OTOH, lintian will still warn "CVS dir in sourceball", so you might
not even both running such a command, and minimize your warnings..
