Package: cvs
Version: 1:1.12.9-14
Severity: minor

I note that Fedora Core recently did an advisory against CVS regarding
the cvsbug program.

We don't ship the cvsbug program in our cvs package, so we're immune, but
we do ship the manpage, which in my haste I nearly mistook for the command,
causing me to almost file a spurious security bug.  :)

IMO, it's pointless to ship the manpage when the thing it documents is not
present.
