Rejection of mythnettv

There is nothing here that will be hard to fix, but unfortunately it is 
necessary to reject the package.

First, of the GPL v2 files in the package (all but gflags.py), only setup.py is 
explicitly GPL v2 an later.  The others (that I sampled) are strictly GPL v2.  
You'll need to separate these files out in your debian/copyright as they are 
licensed differently.

Second, you have both python-central and python-support in your build-depends 
or build-depends-indep.  Since you set python-central as your Python helper in 
debian/rules, python-support should be dropped.

Finally, python-ctypes is included in Python 2.5 and later, so the dependency 
on the external package is only needed for Python 2.4.  You can either bump 
the required version of python to 2.5 and drop the python-ctypes depends or 
change it to python2.6 | python2.5 | python-ctypes.  You don't want to pull 
the old external package in if the later Python versions are being used.  My 
recommendation would be bump to Python 2.5 and drop the depends.  Dapper is 
the only supported release with 2.4 as it's default Python and it doesn't have 
python-central, so your package won't work on Dapper anyway.
