[mythtv-users] Debian Packaging for headless machine

[Will Marler]

I compiled from source because mythtv-backend from deb-multimedia is
segfaulting for me (using testing). I figured I'd try building from source
to see if that fixed things.

Also, I want a more recent version of mythtv, but not necessarily to be on
testing.
