Hi!

In c't-vdr the video directory is set to /var/lib/video.00 by default. 
This makes adding a new partition for recordings pretty easy - the user 
just needs to mount or link it to /var/lib/video.01. For any other 
packages, that need access to the recordings directory, but don't 
support multiple directories like VDR, /var/lib/video is a symlink to 
/var/lib/video.00.

It would take some "postinst magic" to cleanly update existing 
installtions, but I think this should be handled in the offical Debian 
VDR the same way.

What do you think?

bye,

Tobias
