This sounds good to me.

I'm not sure but after cvs committing, remove debian 
directory and then "cvs export tetex-bin-debian -d debian"
as you first suggested will generate *.diff.gz without
the CVS, I guess.

And it will be better then to move new-manpages and texmf.d
under debian/ 

Further, the lines in rules;

-rm -rf debian/tmp `find debian/* -type d ! -name CVS ! -name patches `\
 debian/files*

should be modified (but I dout that this line is really necessary.
Is there any possibility that any directories are left unremoved?)
