Thanks for your report.
I think the ivtv-utils have mostly been subsumed into v4l-utils or
otherwise been made obsolete (the driver itself has been in the
upstream kernel for ages).
Personally I no longer have any ivtv based hardware (the UK switched to
a digital broadcasting standard some time ago) to use or test with
(well, TBH, I suspect I have some in a cupboard somewhere, but it is
largely useless to me...).
The upstream domain, ivtvdriver.org, appears to have lapsed and is now
owned by some domain parking service.
So I think removing ivtv-utils from Debian is probably the best answer.
Unless someone from the X-Debbugs-Cc line suggests oherwise I will do
so, lets say on or after 1 June 2018 (a bit over a week from today).
I've CC-d the O: bug for this package too in case anyone else is
subscribed to that.
Ian.
