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.
