Of course not every shutdown-hook must run as root, but normally at
the end of processing the shutdown-hooks the command /sbin/halt will
be called, and this is definitely one of the commands which have to
run as root. ;-)

When the whole vdr-shutdown-script will run as root, the configuration
of sudo will be much shorter as the other version: running /sbin/halt,
/etc/init.d/vdr, /sbin/reboot, /usr/sbin/nvram-wakeup ... with sudo.

Well, changing $SHUTDOWNCMD in /etc/default/vdr to use sudo would be
enough too, even when sudo is not configured to use this command.
(At least i hope this.) ;-)

The only thing, which needs to be done also is to add documentation
how to configure sudo in the correct way.

Hmm, the i guess we can keep this, until someone complains massively.
;-) (I know that changing this would require to change some other
packages too, which would not be a 5 minute job.) ;-)

I guess you are just calling linda (and probably lintian too) with the
wrong file: You should allways call both tools with the .changes-file.

linda -i vdr_1.2.6-6_i386.changes
lintian -i vdr_1.2.6-6_i386.changes

No, it is placed in main. :)
