This calls cvs-buildpackage, and that one talks of having
*.orig.tar.gz files.  This sounds as if they mean something other
than what I mean, when they talk about CVS repositories.

Maybe there was a misunderstanding somewhere.  Here's what I want to do:

cvs -d :ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs

Then I want to construct a Debian package from the resulting
directory.

Will cvs-autoreleasedb or cvs-buildpackge help me with doing this?
