Sorry, we won't do this. The VDR version in Debian should stay as
"vanilla" as possible. If you want to see the hardlinkcutter patch in
Debian, please make a request to Klaus on the VDR mailinglist [1].

But we will continue to keep the patch in the source package so people can
compile it their self. Besides this you can find binary packages in the
"multipatch" section of my private VDR packages repository [2].

No, it does. It adds new members to cSetup which changes the ABI.

This will be fixed in the next source package I'll upload soon.
