The problem using packages for vdr is, that you cannot use patches or
bugfixes. You have to generate a package for every possibility.
I already thought of making debs (debian's rpm), but using the source
in linked directories is much faster than maintaining packages.
I also think, the programmer hasn't to maintain the packages, for this
there should be other persons.
