 I believe the myth packages have dependancies for these packages from
 either etch (testing) or sid (unstable), I'm not sure which.

 You will need to add lines in your sources.list for the later debian
 releases. Pinning will probably help here if you want to stick with
 sarge for everything else, see the debian apt howto for more details.

 On a side note, does anybody know if Myth actually needs the later
 versions of these packages? Might be worth updating the debs so they
 work with Sarge if they're not required. (which I would be happy to
 do)

I'm sure the only reason that those debian packages need the later versions is 
that Matt uses those versions for building mythtv.  If you want to go through 
the effort of making and posting packages for sarge and/or etch, I'm sure 
that there are lots of us that would be very appreciative, initially.

Just be prepared for the backlash when real life gets in the way of keeping 
your packages up to date.  I've felt really bad for Matt for the amount of 
nagging he has gotten on this list about his packages which are, after all, a 
volunteer service to those of us who don't build mythtv ourselves.

 Hi,
 After setting up my linux server using Debian as opposed to Fedora
 (with 
 the really incredible howto by Jarod), I have some issues concerning 
 reinstallation and mythtv-addons (i.e. MythWeb, MythVideo, etc).

I hate to mention it since you're already installed Debian, but the
fastest and easiest way to get MythTv installed on Debian is to install
KnoppMyth.  It has everything you need, preinstalled and configured to
handle 90% of the hardware out there already.  Plus, the user community
is pretty active and helpful.  http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/
