Sounds sane to me. You can find a version of the package at:
	http://www.hellion.org.uk/debian/pool/i/ivtv-firmware/

This is the same as the version which was in the new queue but with
~hellion appended to the version.

The binary pkg will still be called ivtv-firmware? or do I need to
update my Recommends: ?
