I migrated from my homebrewn backports of the skystar2-driver to 
dvb-kernel yesterday because I was sick of the whole backporting :) Thus 
I think it would be better to have the next release based on dvb-kernel 
anyway, since this would eliminate backporting needs in the future.

Nevertheless before another release can be done we need to solve the 
problem of the skystar locking with the wrong frontend loaded (the 
system gets stuck when you have a rev2.6B and load the mt312).

What other changes need to be done on the Makefiles of dvb-kernel? They 
already seem to be quite usable to me (I had no problems, except that I 
had to upgrade my kernel first).
