well, I can make up all the needed patches, I just want to be
sure that a package for 1.1.0 does the same as later packs.

Since you do not care that much I'd say to choose again a
*single* place - and in that case it would be $datadir/dvb/
i.e. /usr/share/dvb/ in a package install. Agreed?

Almost. What if there are problems with a card and the preinstalled
drivers (either from distro or 3rdparty package like mine). One could
have a number of binaries at hand that can help in the process - and
which do not need 'em do configure the kernel-source or even get it
from distro cd.

A number of options come to my mind:
- build a linuxtv-dvb-apps-devel package (I'll probably do that anyway).
- move these test binaries to /usr/sbin/ (may be the better place)
- or even into some /usr/lib/dvb/bin/ (to hide it but keep them around)

WDYT?
