Now I found the problem!

First I'm still unable to connect via pserver as usual but now I can use
the ext protocol. Is this because I'm now a developer instead of a
translator? OK, that's unimportant, it just works.

export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -d:ext:jseidel-guest@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/dwn-trans up

Because the host of a few alioth related servers changed, it was
necessary to remove alioth specific entries in ~/.ssh/known_hosts to
allow ssh to establish a connection.
