[Pkg-mythtv-maintainers] Bug#385454: ivtv-source: package provides several unwanted /lib/modules/$KERNEL/modules-files

[Ian Campbell]

Hi Mark,

I've committed a fix to svn for this bug, would you mind uploading?

I don't think the extra files are actually harmful since they are
overwritten by depmod in postinst, but I think it is worth fixing now.

BTW, I've taken to adding ~unreleased to the version in SVN for
in-progress packages (kind of like setting the release target to
UNRELEASED) since that means an uploaded/released version will overwrite
it. 

Thanks,
Ian.
