Yes, because what if the fault was on my side? I won't file a bug unless 
I'm 100% sure it /is/ a bug.
I have received an answer from the package maintainer in the meantime, 
and it turned out that the directory was deleted because cvsd used it as 
a chroot jail (which itself and all of its subdirectories get deleted on 
deinstallation). So I guess the fault /was/ on my side because I didn't 
inform myself enough about what chroot jails are and how they are handled.

It looks like the only "bug" was in my attention regarding the 
installation/deinstallation messages. Errare humanum est.
