For discussion about debian/packaging specific topics, this is the right 
place. VDR-specific stuff is discussed at 
http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/vdr/

There has been pretty much work on ctvdr in the past, while the official 
debian packages didn't change very much. With the start of the packaging 
project at Alioth, we now joined forces to push the development on both 
sides. It's true, that between ctvdr and the debian vdr there is a big 
version gap. But with the next update of ctvdr both versions will become 
compatible, so that it should be possible to switch between Debian vdr 
and ctvdr.

ctvdr is meant to be a ready to use Debian-based vdr. It currently has 
more packages and features, but a lot of it will find it's way to the 
official Debian in the future. On the other sides, some packages will 
never find its way to Debian,  because they wouldn't be covered by the 
Debian policy.

Patches for the Debian AND ctvdr versions can be posted here, because 
sooner or later most packages will be maintained at Alioth. Before 
starting to package a new plugin, take a look at what already has been 
packaged for ctvdr:
