For mythtv I try to use a grace period so other distros have the chance
to have packages for the new mythtv. My backend runs debian, so I
generally wait for debian-multimedia to catch up.
I think it's safe to switch to 0.23.x now, and for future releases we
can see if this policy can be thrown out.

mvg,
