no, i have done it all manualy. the basic sequence goes like this:

cd package-dir
cvs update -dP
check for merge problems
tweak version entry on changelog
dpkg-buildpackage -b -nc  >> logfile
(NOTE: this omits the source package, but i guess thats ok for cvs builds,
maybe one could include the output of a 'cvs diff -u' as source ????)
cd ..
dput local <package>.changes
sleep 10
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
goto next package
