Bug#741269: tools: use GIT instead of CVS, Use cowbuilder instead od pbuilder-uml



Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.11
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Almost no one use CVS now.

Let's switch description to GIT.

Also, popcon for
  pbuilder      3500
  cowbuilder    2000
  pbuilder-uml    90

(I think upstream is focusing on cowbuilder used as backend of pbuilder.

So let's adjust text as attached.
