Comment 8 for bug 941586

You know - there was just, (last week), a failed 12.10 build of minitube which still isn't allowing choice of backends. Really getting tiresome - no reason not to take 15 sec's to edit the control file to allow either

So - how to edit a minitube .deb to allow - ex. uses a .deb from a well known ppa so you can have the 1.7 version in 12.04

I will post a new reply to that thread tonight with instr. on building your own & will attach a source/debian/dsc Then just 3 simple commands & a couple of min. for a better version
(the source will be latest 1.7.1 + a patch for an obscure issue with the vlc backend
