So the easiest solution for the packagers/distro developers is to
create ~weekly experimental packages when something important was
commited to cvs.
So there would be official release packages *and* experimental packages. 
There's no really a need to have three "branches" like in debian. You
don't even need the stable "branch" for mythtv because CVS is really
"mostlystable". But it would help people to get back to a working
branch if something's really unusable in CVS (with a dbdump of
course).
And then just 
apt-get install mythtv  - to get releases (0.17) or
apt-get install -t experimental mythtv - to get cvs builds (0.17.20050224).
