Mark,

While receiving dvb-apps updates on upstream is a good idea, I don't think that
subscribing one list to the other is the proper way for it. If we use that logic,
we would need to subscribe all kernel ML's (LMML, acpi, alsa, ...) at LKML.
This would just add more traffic, mixing different subjects.

As you'll be receiving those requests and patches, the better is for you to
forward us the patches you receive and send us upstream patches based on
the reports you're receive, keeping your package in sync with upstream, while
saving us for any internal discussions that it may be pertinent only to the
Debian ML.
