Remove the one you don't want. Read their descriptions:

    aptitude show cvs cvsnt

Hard to say, without knowing which packages are going to be removed, but

Read the manpage - In a nutshell:

upgrade         Deprecated
safe-upgrade    Upgrade listed/all packages to newest version, don't
                remove packages
full-upgrade    Do whatever actions it takes to upgrade packages to
                their latest version
