Binary package hint: w-scan

Xine formatted output from w_scan is incorrect for 8VSB and 16VSB modulations. The output should read "8VSB" and "16VSB" rather than "VSB_8" and "VSB_16"

Unfortunately, from what I can tell, this applies to w-scan in *every* version of Ubuntu -- the last non-broken upstream w_scan release was 20081106 -- the bug was present in all releases thereafter.

Side note: The program is actually called w_scan with an underscore (_). The author makes note of this explicitly in his changelog: "ChangeLog:28: - NOTE@maintainers: it's called 'w_scan', not 'w-scan' or 'wscan'."

I've attached a patch that solves this bug. The patch has already been sent upstream, and shall be included in the next release of w_scan.
