Won't quite work. That'll only pull in the deps for mythtv, it won't 
pull in the deps for mythmusic, mythdvd, mythvideo, etc. And there's 
only one mythtv apt repo for RH9 -- ATrpms.

On my pcHDV-testing system, I'm running CVS compiled from source for 
MythTV, but previously had MythTV rpms installed. I initially installed 
everything with apt-get install mythtv-suite, then manually rpm -e'd 
all the myth packages. Synaptic makes it quite easy (search for 
packages w/myth in the name, select them all, uninstall).

You could of course probably try apt-get build-dep for each of the 
mythtv components as well.
