Hmm, I doubt that would work. I thought about doing that, but I chose
to manually execute everything the script does. I updated sources.list
as the script would, and then tried to call it with -u (if I remember
correctly) to update the packages (it lets you choose which packages to
install). It didn't work because of dependencies that where
impossible to satisfy. 

I might have made a mistake, but I tried several different variations
of sources.list and none of them would let me install mythtv-frontend.

After I failed to install the binary packages, I tried rebuilding them.
By running:
apt-get build-dep mythtv
apt-get -b source mythtv

it downloaded all dependencies for building mythtv and started
compiling. After a few hours I had to go to bed and I didn't check this
morning whether it had finished.

(I may have used mythtv-frontend in the commands above, I can't
remember exactly).
