Lintian overrides should only be used when a package is an exception to an otherwise-generally-applicable Lintian message, not when the Lintian message is basically wrong and should be removed. In this case, I completely agree that the warning is bogus; it might be less so if it were modified to check that the CVS directories are in the .diff.gz rather than just somewhere in the unpacked source.
