This report is a duplicate so I’m merging them.

>So it would be nice to fix that package in stable.

The package was uploaded to stable, against my wishes, with a bogus
revision number. So people went over my head for the security upload,
so people can fix that. Please do so if you want.

For the record, the package I would have uploaded to fix the security
issue, with a non-bogus version number, did not have this issue:

# paxtar -xOf cvs_1.12.13-12sec60+1_amd64.deb data.tar.gz | paxtar -tzf - | 
fgrep usr/share/info
./usr/share/info
./usr/share/info/cvs.info-1.gz
./usr/share/info/cvs.info-2.gz
./usr/share/info/cvs.info.gz
./usr/share/info/cvsclient.info.gz

So whoever broke it, or whoever cares, is gonna fix that.
The bogus version number, unfortunately, is already beyond
being fixable. (For a rationale and why exactly they are
broken, see bpo’s scheme.)

In the meantime, people can use the backport from wheezy/sid:
