I don't know what "switch Debian over to tla" would even mean. Different
Debian package maintainers are actively using all of CVS, Subversion, svk,
and arch, as fitting their personal preferences, as well as likely many
other things, and there are packages specifically to support multiple
different systems (cvs-buildpackage, svn-buildpackage, tla-buildpackage,
and arch-buildpackage, the latter two being two different takes on how to
do things with arch). I believe both Subversion and CVS are supported on
alioth, and it wouldn't surprise me if arch was as well.

Debian, unlike something like FreeBSD, has no monolithic version control
tree, and probably will always use multiple revision control systems as
befits the personal preferences of various developers.
