Comment 3 for bug 684941

Thank you for addressing this and for your clear explanation and thorough analysis. Lintian now complains about only these:
$ lintian libmyth-0.24-0_0.24.0+fixes.20101207.d3d2640-0ubuntu1_i386.deb:
E: libmyth-0.24-0: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libmythavcodec.so.52.86.1
E: libmyth-0.24-0: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libmythpostproc.so.51.2.0
E: libmyth-0.24-0: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libmythswscale.so.0.11.0

which you discussed above and reference in the README.Debian. I would encourage you in your next upload to also add the lintian override, but I will not block on this. Thanks for all your hard work!
