I first did "cvs-upgrade -Mdebian/tetex-bin tetex-bin 1.0.7+20021025"
and it looked to work but when I cvs checked it out, it didn't
include debian directory.  (I might created some unnecessary
directory in CVS repository.)

But after that, I did "cvs-upgrade tetex-bin 1.0.7+20021025"
and everything went well, I guess.  Same as tetex-base but
there were some missing files and/or directories when I cvs checked 
it out.

It seemed formerly deleted files were missing (e.x. booktabs.dvi) 
and empty directories too.

I tried to add these as possible as I can but I might overlooked 
some files or directories.

Some remarks: 
- if there are any CVS subdirectory in a new *.orig.tar.gz then 
cvs-upgrade caused an error.

- if there are any symlinks in a new *.orig.tar.gz then
cvs-upgrade caused an error. 

Both occured really with tetex-bin.  There were many symlinks in
original source so I deleted them before generating orig.tar.gz 
and restored them with modified restore-symlinks in rules.
(There might be more better way but I couldn't guess any other
method.)

And there were 2 CVS directories 
./texk/xdvik/CVS
./texk/xdvik/texmf/CVS
and I deleted them too.

I doubt that CVS is really effective to maintain tetex packages 
with group of maintainers.
