+<para>
+If you need to use a Version Control System for any of your Debian work,
+you can use one the existing repositories hosted on Alioth or you can
+request a new project and ask for the VCS repository of your choice.
+Alioth supports CVS (alioth.debian.org), Subversion
+(svn.debian.org), Arch (tla/baz, both on arch.debian.org), Bazaar
+(bzr.debian.org), Darcs (darcs.debian.org), Mercurial (hg.debian.org) and Git
+(git.debian.org).  Checkout <ulink url="&url-alioth-pkg;" /> if you plan
+to maintain packages in a VCS repository. See <xref linkend="alioth"/> for
+information on the services provided by Alioth.
+</para>
+<para>
+Historically, Debian first used <literal>cvs.debian.org</literal> to host
+CVS repositories. But that service is deprecated in favor of Alioth.
+Only a few projects are still using it.
