I've started it once again, too, with the one-liner added to Debian
unstable's version of cvsps:

It seems there's a patch like
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0602/16278.html is missing?
...or we need a better cvsps.  Shall I add it and try again / try to
continue, or give up on it for now?  Though it would be nice to have
these two large and important source trees under GIT control :-)
