I recommend starting off by porting the Ubuntu packaging of MythTV to Debian. I presume if these are local packages, you're using reprepro or something similar to host a local archive. In such a case, you may as well build packages of libcrystalhd and upload them to your local archive. Then you can build mythtv. Note that mythtv is using it's own copy of ffmpeg. It needs to be modified so it can build/run with system libav before it can be uploaded to Debian. If that's something you're interested in doing, by all means, feel free to modify mythtv source tree, and preferably work with mythtv upstream to pass along patches. -- ~ Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
