I tested your packages on Debian and they build and work - hooray! However I did note a couple of issues and this seems like the only place to report them right now. 1) Building: In wheezy imlib2-dev depends on libtiff-dev, whilst mythtv depends on libtff5-dev and imlib2-dev preventing sbuild from building the package. manually installing libtiff-dev and then building works OK. It may well be that this issue does not arise on unstable. (not checked yet). 2) Installing: dpkg: error processing mythtv-common (--install) chown: invalid user: syslog:adm There is no syslog user but the install script assumes that there is. This looks wrong. 3) Running: The main one is there there is only an upstart file, not a sysvinit file. Right now in Debian that's not very useful as the backend doesn't start. This may be due to change, but for the time being this needs fixing. I can do that if you like. I also found the frontend package quite 'crashy': It ran for an hour or two but then died watching live TV. I've not seen this on the 0.25 deb-multimedia I'm running on my main media box. I'll test this 0.27 on there as soon as I sort the 'no init script' issue. Other things that could be better: There are no man pages The -doc package does not contain the ain docs PDF (or html). I think it should. I'll test building on unstable and send in an initscript when I get a mo. With the above fixed, and your lintian issues sorted then I think it's good enough to do an initial upload.
