	There is no need.  tvtime now has preliminary Debian packaging

	I disagree.  This is _Debian_ where things should work the Right
Way when you install it.  We're not under release pressure so it's not
much of a big deal.

	If you look in CVS tvtime, you'll notice that Debconf support is
mostly there.  There are, however, two things missing.

1) Each question needs a long description.  Billy Biggs has sent me a
   preliminary set of descriptions, I just have to merge his work.

2) I'm not respecting dpkg-statoverride --list when chmodding
   /usr/bin/tvtime.

	After I get those two done, I'll quickly send it over to Joey
Hess and have him take a look at it.

	I wondered about that.  I don't know where I'd put them if they
went in /usr/lib.  /usr/lib/win32?  They don't seem to belong in
/usr/lib/tvtime because they could be used by other media programmes in
the forseeable future.
