> o Some parts under /etc should probably move into /usr/share.

Makes sense, although only the *.theme files remain in /etc/vdr/themes and that
dir can't be changed without changing it in the main vdr package as well.  Added
to my TODO list for future vdr package revisions.

Yeah, I've been trying to ping upstreams of skins whose download URLs no longer
work, but haven't got replies from all of them :(

Archive.org appears to have a copy of sttng-blue.theme:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.magoa.net/sttng-blue.theme

So I guess that leaves us only DeepBlue-0.1.4.tar.gz MIA.  Suggestions?  I've
had it in this package for ages, and IMHO upstream availablity/verification is
not *that* critical because it's only data.  If you feel more comfortable with
dropping it for now, will do and reintroduce later if upstream reappears.

bunzip2'ing and comparing the uncompressed tarballs could work.  And rpmdev-diff
might be useful as well.

They are logos of various TV and radio channels, most of which are likely
trademarked, and I haven't found any evidence that they'd be included in
upstream tarballs with the trademark holders' consent.
