I have checked `git log` in my git-cvs webwml checkout and the phrase
"CVS version numbers" does not appear at all. The phrase "CVS version
number" (without the "s") appears twice.

Anyone who is willing to work on this should note that there can be
multiple levels of translation-check headers chaining through
different files, for example:

slovak/international/Slovak/index.wml

-> english/international/Slovak/index.wml
#use wml::debian::translation-check translation="1.14" original="slovak"

-> french/international/Slovak/index.wml
#use wml::debian::translation-check translation="1.14" maintainer="David Prévot"

In addition, we need to fix a few scripts that directly use
Local::Cvsinfo to switch to using VCS instead.

$ git grep Local::Cvs | grep -v Perl/Local
french/international/french/desc.wml:use Local::Cvsinfo;
french/international/french/desc.wml:my $cvs = Local::Cvsinfo->new();
smart_change.pl:use Local::Cvsinfo;
smart_change.pl:        my $cvs = Local::Cvsinfo->new();
stattrans.pl:use Local::Cvsinfo;
stattrans.pl:my $cvs = Local::Cvsinfo->new();
stattrans.pl:my $altcvs = Local::Cvsinfo->new();
touch_translations.pl:use Local::Cvsinfo;
touch_translations.pl:my $cvs = Local::Cvsinfo->new();
