selfupdate updates you to a new point release (e.g. 0.4.1 -> 0.5.0a) and
gives you the appropriate package info files.

selfupdate-cvs gives you access to yet newer versions of the packages
than those in the latest point release, using the fink CVS repository
(hence the name).

To tell the complete story, you have to add:

Once you have run selfupdate-cvs once, any subsequent selfupdate does exactly the same thing as selfupdate-cvs.

selfupdate looks whether there exists a directory named CVS in /sw/fink.
If yes, it behaves as selfupdate-cvs, if no, it only looks for new point releases.
