I thought I'd add that my NMU release of XMLTV 0.5.66 for Debian is
being checked and all being well should hit unstable in the next week
or two.

This release release still fixes up tv_grab_pt to work with Debian
(which doesn't package Unicode::UTF8simple) and also makes the build
lintian clean as far as possible. I've fixed all of these issues
upstream so most patches will drop out in the 0.5.67 release.

With more grabbers being improved since the release of 0.5.66 8 months
ago it's probably time for another XMLTV release. I'll get that
packaged for Debian and NMU'd once it's out.

Cheers,
Nick
