I did the following:

-rebuild the archive I uploaded yesterday in "s1"

-rebuild a copy of sarge/ from the CVS in "s2"

-"debuild clean" on both

-remove all CVS dirs on both

-compare the trees:

The difference then are:

-removal of man/fr/po4a/fr in the archive file. This doesn't harm as
 these are only the sources for the French man pages and are not used
 to generate them during the build. I removed it voluntarily

-RCS tags on source files=A0: no importance

-that's all

SO, we can safely conclude that our CVS sarge/ directory contains the
source for the 4.0.3-31sarge3 package. SO WE SHOULD NOT TOUCH IT
ANYMORE unless we plan to release an update (for instance, if we have
security updates in the future).

Now, we can really focus on the preparation of -32.

Target=A0: have it build properly (and the clean target working as
expected) and be as close as possible to -31sarge3.
