You can check upstream commits at:
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commits/fixes%2F0.24/
As you can see, the last commit was on the 20th.

If there was a source package build error it would show here:
http://smithers.mythbuntu.org/~autobuild/weekly_mythtv.txt

If there was a binary package build error it would show here:
https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/0.24/
