What distro are you trying to package them for? There are already folks that 
have packaged Myth for Red Hat/Fedora Core, Debian, SUSE and Mandrake, plus 
Gentoo ebuilds. If you're trying for one of those, don't reinvent the wheel. 
If you're working on a package for a different distro, take a look at how 
those ones were built for clues.
