Yeah, the README.Debian file says (and this probably explains why it
works for Magnus as well):

Control of Keyword Expansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since version 1.12.2 CVS has supported, without external
patches, custom keyword expansion options. Previously CVS required a
patch to implement this, and users may know the feature as the options
"tag" and "tagexpand" from the CVSROOT/options file. CVS now uses a
similar method in CVSROOT/config. For more information see the CVS
documentation(infobrowser "(CVS)Configuring keyword expansion").

The old CVSROOT/options patch is still present (and updated) to
support users with old config for now, but will be removed
soon. Update your config to use CVSROOT/config instead!
