tvheadend for Debian

[Adam Sutton]

In short, no. I'm not interested in managing official packages in
distro's etc... It's enough work just helping to maintain the code.

Longer answer...

We provide the launchpad PPA simply because it keeps "most" of our
users happy and is the best way to get most users running up to date
code. We will soon, hopefully, move the repo to self-hosted and then
we'll probably include some additional packages.

However if other people want to maintain a distro official package
then I've no problem with that, though it'd be nice to maintain a
dialog and ensure things are flowing back and forth etc...
