So is the installation of these cron jobs a direct result of "make
install" in the myth package? i.e. is this a myth packaging error or a
{myth,u}buntu packaging error?

Well, at a minimum, the cron script could ask some sort of "am in the
backend" question and bail out if not. But you know, even that I don't
particularly agree with, because this script is packaged with mythvideo,
and (AFAIU) mythvideo {w,sh}ould not be installed on a pure (i.e. no FE)
backend machine.

But then on the hand again, does "Video" metadata belong on the backend
if it's a frontend package?

I think there is a severe personality disorder deep in this Jamu stuff.
That or I am just not understanding it correctly.
