Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 35.2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
I just tried to "debcheckout emacs-goodies-el" and got this output:

,----[ debcheckout emacs-goodies-el ]
| declared cvs repository at 
:pserver:anonym...@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/pkg-goodies-el 
emacs-goodies-el
| cvs -d :pserver:anonym...@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/pkg-goodies-el 
checkout -d emacs-goodies-el emacs-goodies-el ...
| cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from 
cvs.alioth.debian.org: cvs [pserver aborted]: /cvsroot/pkg-goodies-el: no such 
repository
| checkout failed (the command above returned a non-zero exit code)
`----

A bit of googling turned up [1], which has paths of a similar form, but
notably having "/cvs/" instead of "/cvsroot/"; explicitly telling
debcheckout(1) to use a path like that (and CVS) worked, so the attached
patch ought to fix it.
