        "DESCRIPTION": {
            "content": "cvs-debrelease  is  run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild.\nIt uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the .changes file generated in  that  run.   It\nthen  uploads  the  package  using debrelease(1), which in turn calls either dupload or dput.\nNote that the --dopts option must be specified to distinguish the cvs-debrelease options from\nthe  dupload  or dput options.  Also, the devscripts configuration files will be read, as de‐\nscribed in the debrelease(1) manpage.\n\nNote that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package  name  is  with\nthe -P option; you cannot simply have it as the last command-line parameter.\n",

For more details on all of them, see the  cvs-buildpackage(1)  manpage.\nAll debrelease options (as listed below) are also accepted.\n\n--dupload, --dput\nThis specifies which uploader program to use; the default is dupload.\n",
