Comment 12 for bug 363153

For mythbuntu packages, what you did is great. Thanks for the patch!
So if you are interested in how these changes get rolled in, you'll want to download the bzr branch for mythbuntu-common:

bzr get lp:~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-common

You can look at the history of commits to see what else had to get changed to reflect your patch. You can even create commits yourself and push to a personal tree of any package. You can then request us to merge those changes. A developer (such as myself) would then review them and if they are suitable, push them into the Ubuntu archive.
