Thanks for your mail and sorry for my late reply.

Sorry for that. It's unfortunately not possible to change the vcs
information in launchpad yet. I opened a bug against launchpad about
this and ask the lp-admins to change the information on update-manager
and gnome-app-install manually until there is a way for the user to do
it.

Possible but unlikely. It's a pain to work with cvs once you have used
a more sophisticated system like bzr. cvs dosn't even support renaming
of files and that happend in both projects a lot to make the
build-system more python-ing.

I'm primary contact for both of the projects in launchpad now.

Yes, sorry for this. This is a launchpad issue. It seems to be not
pointing from a upstream product to a package in a distribution. 

Cheers,
