Bug#763035: Ship DTV Scan Tables in v5 format

[Gregor Jasny]

Package: dtv-scan-tables
Version: 0+git20140611.14bd6c7-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I'm the Debian packager of v4l-utils which ships some DVBv5 related
utilities. During an email conversation Mauro Carvalho Chehab asked me
the following:

I admit I'm not that deep into DVB stuff and don't know which
consequences the change would have. Looking at the upstream repo it
seems that the Makefile now contains two targets: one for v3 and one for
v5 format.

So it seems that Mauro would like you to package a current snapshot with
the v5 tables.

Thanks,
Gregor
