Explicit PAM support in CVS was dropped in 2:1.12.13+real-5
in Debian, which is in your distro’s CVS package, so CVS
will use the default auth.

{CRYPT} is not inferiour; in fact, with the new modes (blowfish
via bcrypt in OpenBSD, SHA-256 via glibc in GNU) it’s massively
more secure than a simple {SSHA}.
If using {CRYPT} works for you, then, by all means, use it.
I’m noticing you’re using pserver, which transmits the passwords
in plain over the network anyway. You really ought to use SSH
instead — which would offload the entire authentication to sshd,
and authorisation to Unix user group membership.
