I think part of the problem was that some people had to enable Axel's 
bleeding-edge package repo to get the latest bttv driver, which meant the cvs 
rpms also got exposed. Earlier today, I added a note that people should 
disable the at-bleeding repo post-bttv-install to try to avoid that from 
happening (still haven't mentioned the cvs rpms in the guide either ;-), 
though I just saw that Axel has removed them from his apt repo anyhow, so 
there's no way people can accidentally install them anymore.
