I currently build my myth packages from svn, and use checkinstall to keep my filesystem tidy, but I really did find hunter's debs to be fantastic back in the days of breezy. But I don't have boatloads of time to sit around and work on the mythbox anymore (yay, employment) so I was hoping someone would be producing hunter quality debs for dapper. Especially if there were regular snapshots from svn being built as packages. I'm really lovin' mytharchive right now.
