Technically we haven't lost it, just that it is attached to a file that 
is now deleted. If nothing else having a commit comment saying that the 
file moved from another package helps.

I'm not sure how you missed a file moving?

The problem with moving the file and its history in CVS is that although 
  you get the history, checking out versions before the move mean they 
no longer work.
