Please add support for NTSC closed captioning

[Zicu Radu]

NTSC closed captioning is pretty much completely broken unless you happen to have a BTTV card or a card that behaves exactly like it. Tvtime doesn’t use the V4L2 API to determine the VBI configuration, always assuming a VBI width of 2048.

This bug was fixed in the package tvtime - 1.0.2-7ubuntu8

---------------
tvtime (1.0.2-7ubuntu8) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/tvtime-1.0.2-tvtime-1.0.2-vbi.patch: Add support for more
    generic VBI handling. Currently only tested with the HVR-950 (em28xx based),
    so there may need to be additional changes required for other boards)
    (LP: #961677)
  * debian/patches/tvtime-1.0.2-tvtime-1.0.2-xinerama.patch: Make it possible to
    disable xinerama manually.
  * Update tvtime-1.0.2-alsa.patch (The xfer_align and sleep_min is the obsolete
    feature now. Remove it from audiolib.c to avoid deprecated calls)
  * debian/rules: Lintian reports 2 warnings about this package (build-arch and
    build-indep should be provided). OK
