Bug Description

Binary package hint: mythtv

Running lintian on the mythtv binaries for 1:0.24.0+fixes27162-0ubuntu1 results in many errors and warnings. I will attach the output for the amd64 binaries (the same should be done for the _all packages, if any), but some examples of the worst offenders are:
mytharchive: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./build/buildd/mythtv-0.24.0+fixes27162/debian/tmp/usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/scripts/mythburn.py
...
E: mytharchive: non-standard-toplevel-dir build/
W: mytharchive: file-in-unusual-dir build/buildd/mythtv-0.24.0+fixes27162/debian/tmp/usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/encoder_profiles/ffmpeg_dvd_ntsc.xml
...
E: mythnews: description-synopsis-is-duplicated
...

...
W: mythtv-backend: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/mythtv/internetcontent/nv_python_libs/bliptv/__init__.py
...
E: mythtv-backend: executable-in-usr-share-doc usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/imports/mirobridge/mirobridge/__init__.py 0755
...
W: mythtv-common: extra-license-file usr/share/mythtv/themes/Terra/watermarks/README.license

The build/ stuff is enough to reject the binaries for natty, which I am doing. Please clean up these issues and feel free to reupload. Thanks

This bug was fixed in the package mythtv - 1:0.24.0+fixes27305-0ubuntu1

---------------
mythtv (1:0.24.0+fixes27305-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * New 0.24 checkout (27305)
  * Modify the upstart script to load the LANG first. (LP: #541042)
  * Modify configure_mythplugins_without_mythtv_installed.patch to remove
    SYSROOT from the mytharchive build process for it's additional support
    files. (LP: #674626)
  * Remove unused package, mythmovies from build process.
  * Clean up the dependencies of a few packages, and harden them to the binary
    version.
  * Disable XvMC as it's causing crashes. VDPAU is better off in these
    situations anyhow (LP: #660833)
  * Remove sparc support.
  * Make sure mysql is pingable before starting the backend (LP: #609402)
  * Fixup some linitians:
    - Extra license files
    - Longer extended descriptions
    - Duplicated synopsis
    - Init.d script
  * Add a new debian/rules rule called 'update-upstream-changelog'.
    This finds all of the most recent svn commit messages and
    creates changelog entries.
  * Add a debian/README.Debian for explaining how to work with the package.
  * In the update-upstream-changelog rule, search for the word mythbuntu
    in the version string. If found, find the latest version on the PPA
    to compare against.
  * Get rid of the newest-revision rule in favor of one that will actually
    update the changelog/checkout to the new version.
  * Add a new helper script debian/do-new-release.sh that will run all of
    these common tasks in preparation for an upload to ubuntu.

  [ Thomas Mashos ]
  * Set backend to not respawn if it dies 2 times in 1 hour (LP: #654846)
  * Move metadata scripts and internetcontent to mythtv-common
  * Fixed Replaces for mythtv-common
  * Added python and perl bindings as recommends for BE/FE
  * Fixes replaces in control.in for mythtv-common (LP: #676791)
  * Added bindings as recommends to FR and BE in control.in
  * Added Breaks mythtv-backend to mythtv-common (LP: #677206)
  * Added conflicts/replaces for mythplugins-dbg to mythtv-dbg
  * Added script to find latest mythtv svn revision in PPA

Not *all* of the lintians are fixed with that upload, but most of the more critical ones are.

Particularly some of the python/perl stuff needs to be handled with a more fine toothed comb because there are other packages that are depending on the paths that they're currently located and the executable nature of certain scripts.
