It's honestly not worth the bother if you want easy package
maintainance and updating of MythTV if using the standard
"mythtv-suite" meta-package from atrpms.net. You can remove the
unwanted packages after the initial mythtv-suite installation, or you
can install the 'real' MythTV packages separately (this defeats the
ease-of-use of installing mythtv-suite), but for the little extra
diskpace these plugins take up I'd just let the installation install
them when installing mythtv-suite.

In addition to this list, you want to read the atrpms-users list (if
not already) where you'll find more detailed packaging-specific help.
