There might not be a 1.9.2.  There are two branches of development:

* The main trunk, where new development happens.  When it is deemed
  mature and stable enough to release, or when we run out of features
  to add, it will become Wget 1.10.

* The stable 1.9 branch, from which all the 1.9.x releases come from.
  That branch is purely bugfix, *no* new features go in.  If serious
  bugs are discovered in 1.9.1, I'll release 1.9.2 with the fix, along
  with the other minor fixes that accumulated in the branch.

I don't think it makes sense to put a snapshot of the CVS trunk to any
distribution, be it Debian unstable or rawhide, because the CVS is
primarily meant for alpha-testing Wget.  Although Wget's CVS has
traditionally been quite stable, noone can guarantee that in general.
Furthermore, noone can tell exactly when 1.10 will be released.

Can you clarify why you considered including the CVS code in rawhide?
