Right

The version in Debian is git20160707.1.e46042e-1 which references git 
commit e46042e. It looks for me that it is the commit from 
https://github.com/ddennedy/dvgrab/commit/e46042e0c7b3523b6854ee547b0534e8310b7460
which is from May 16, 2016

If the multimedia-team is more active than the vdr-team it can well go 
there. I the last time I took the task to bring the vdr and dvb packages 
up to date, because nobody else did.
