His "debugging method" may not build the package correctly, depending on how much CVS HEAD deviates from the release tarball. A Debian user shouldn't really have to debug a package in this manner anyway. That said, I think you should keep the source pristine and leave the CVS dirs in. They don't hurt anything; they're just an annoyance if you wish to keep your packaging in a CVS repository yourself. -- People said I was dumb, but I proved them!
