Ok, you first move all your stuff to a separate folder (let's call it
old). Then you get a copy of the 'upstream' laste released tarball (the
one which once unpacked you ran dh_make on), possibly extracting it from
CVS trough a cvs export. This upstream tarball, you name :

modcaml_1.0.0.orig.tar.gz

Unpack it, and then copy the content of your debian directory to it.

So, in the directory, apart the old dir, you will only have
modcaml_1.0.0.orig.tar.gz and modcaml-1.0.0. Then you go into
modcaml-1.0.0 and run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot on it.

Should work fine.

That i understand. maybe it is ok to continue such, but ultimately you
will want to build the packages from released versions of the modcaml
package, not from CVS.

Anyway, it is not all that important.
