Well yes, CVSup is available in Debian.  That's not really the point,
though.  In *BSD you use CVSup to update the source tree for your whole
system.  It's sort of like 'apt-get dist-upgrade' except it pulls down
source instead of binaries and it does it efficiently (I believe CVSup
uses the rsync algorithm).  We don't offer such an upgrade path.

noah
