Some problems arise:
Should this CVS repository be mandatory, i.e. does every Debian
package have to be there?
How much disk space will this take ?

My favourite example ;-)
So I'll repeat this: IMHO Currently the overhead of fixing a bug and
publishing the fixed version is too high. For unstable it would be
enough to check-in the fix (e.g. an added menu file, a spelling-fix).
Please note that the procedure for stable might be different.

E.g. boot-floppies. I regularly receive patches from the people doing
the ports to other architectures. If they could merge them into the
CVS repository, they needn't wait until I released a new version.
(Another example: We already used a CVS repository on master for the
FAQ.)
