Debian best practices dictate that the debian/ directory not be kept in

This way the Debian maintainer doesn't have to keep upstream's CVS in
sync with his local copy everytime he makes an new debian release.
Additionally, sometimes Debian maintainer's need to apply local patches
to the source that are not appropriate for upstream.
So, I'd think the best thing to do would be to remove the debian/
directory from CVS. However, if Jonathan finds it more convenient to
maintain the debian/ directory in the Savannah CVS, then maybe commit
access is what is needed to keep it up to date.
I would prefer to remove it entirely. If given CVS access (again), I
will either remove it entirely, or move it to the contrib directory.
Probably the contrib directory.
