while i agree that having cvs meta data in a tarball is ugly and should
be avoided when doing the checkout to produce the tarball oneself, it's
not necessary in order to meet DFSG.

same with the binaries. if all binaries which end up in the .deb are
rebuild during te build process of the package, *and* all sources for
those binaries are included, they don't need to be removed in order to
meet DFSG.
