[mythtv-users] Myth packages for ubuntu?

[Michael MacLeod]

Please, I'm not afraid to compile stuff myself, I just don't know how to
make .deb files. I'm proficient in linux, but not in debian/ubuntu. So some
detailed instructions on how to make .deb files for svn versions of mythtv
for ubuntu would be really appreciated by me.
