You can create a tarball of the CVS checkout, and package this. Is there
a good reason why upstream doesn't want to provide a tarball,
though?

No, I'm looking at the HTML Tidy project and they just state on
their website that they neither provide source nor binary
distributions any more. Everybody else has been packaging CVS
snapshots for ages. Should the script used for generating the CVS
checkout be included as a Source?

I guess it can be useful to put the script there since it makes it
easier to update the checkout.
