This is how I used to do it as well. However there are some drawbacks: 
cvs2dist stopped working for me (don't know why), the packages get huge if 
you included many translations (so it is better to make a separate i18n 
package), cvs2dist cannot deal with branches (leading to all sorts of 
problems).
