debian-release, Upstream have released a bug fix patch for ivtv (attached), which takes the package from patch level 1 to 2. (0.8.2) This fixes handling of corrupt tveeprom and a busy waiting loop. This issues haven't been reported by debian users (yet) Shall I: 1. Backport the patch to 0.8.1 and submit for inclusion in etch, 2. Create the new upstream release (0.8.2) and submit to unstable and not seek inclusion in etch, 3. Create the new upstream release (0.8.2) and submit to experimental, or 4. Wait until etch is released and then submit to unstable The diff is pretty small. Mark
