>> cvs still uses install-info in its maintainer script (it's the only
My offer to replac^Wadopt cvs is still open, although,
like I said, there would be… changes. (No more pserver
by default, yay!)

I have a proof of concept available here:
https://www.freewrt.org/~tg/debs/dists/etch/wtf/Pkgs/cvs/cvs_1.12.13-3.dsc
Please don’t let you be fooled by the /etch/ there, the
source package actually targets sid, but it can still be
built on etch, and my personal play repo has four suites
(etch, lenny, hardy, sid), so I needed to compile it only
twice (etch, hardy) for economical reasons. (Of course,
if uploading, I’d build it on sid to not cause debhelper
problems like this one.)
Steve, I have not yet heard back from how you feel about this.
Everyone else is invited to test the above package and
tell me whether (s)he could live with it. No, there will
definitively not be any special support for pserver, if
I adopted it. (Of course, it will work, but you’re on
your own if you do it.) We in #cvs on IRC see that most
problems people have are from pserver and just go away
if they switch to cvs-over-ssh as should be.

/me considers bundling anoncvssh, even…
