Bug Description

/usr/bin/autopoint which is part of the gettext package requires cvs to run.
gettext is currently not depending on cvs.

This should be solved by one of:
  A: remove the somewhat bogus check of cvs in autopoint
  B: split out autopoint of gettext to gettext-dev and have gettext-dev depend on cvs
  C: make gettext depend on cvs

FWIW, Fedora is currently doing B.

I vote for B! CVS is NOT an acceptable dependency! See Bug 445013

This should probably be discussed with Santiago Villa, the Debian Maintainer, as well.

This in fact was fixed about a year ago. The fix as suggested in B has landed in maverick. Closing.
