I am, but do not read it daily so Ccs are welcome.

Thank you.
I've decided to implement "Plan B" anyway: create autopoint as an
empty package which depends on gettext and cvs, as doing so will not
break packages currently having cvs in their build-depends. Then will
submit normal bugs asking to change their build-depends.
Depending on how fast those bugs are fixed, we can decide about making
this transition a release goal or not.

That's not really the issue I was asking about. I do not decide about
how autopoint is implemented. In fact, I'm not an autopoint user myself.
You might want to contact upstream for that.
