I'd put it somewhere in /home - /home/cvs, maybe?
Don't worry too much about Debian policy and the FHS, other than keeping
out of the way of places they label as being for system use; they're
documents that distributions have to worry about, not really users. For
instance, the debian.org machines keep all kinds of things in /org, so
the bug tracking system is all in master:/org/bugs.debian.org, etc. My
workplace encourages /space for user data on local machines (home
directories are NFS-mounted) and uses things like /data on service
machines like the main development web server. This is all completely
outside policy and the FHS, but that's OK.
