Looks like these packages are transitioned to build with GCC 4.0 (and
depend on the already-transitioned QT3 etc.), which all of Debian
Unstable is going through right now.  I *imagine* there is no actual
Myth change, or they would have been bumped to 0.18.2.

Looks like there are indeed no packages available for stable (Sarge),
though it would not be difficult to build them yourself: 'apt-get
build-dep' is going to fail, but if you use 'apt-get source' and look
inside the debian/control file and install equivalent versions from
Sarge you should be good to go.  (Yes, I've intentionally left this
vague... directions for how to build a Debian package are easy enough to
find using Google).
