All that I needed to do was set my apt.sources list to the one in this
thread, do an 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get install mythtv-frontend'

But I had already installed a number of dependencies when I was trying to
compile mythtv 0.21 myself (and failed). The only way to solve any
dependency issues is to systematically work your way backwards. If
installing mythtv-frontend fails on 'x11-common', try installing x11-common
by itself. If that fails, you should be able to see what is missing, and
install that. I had to repeat that process about 100 times when I was trying
to compile 0.21 a couple weeks ago.  Shouldn't be anywhere near that
cumbersome for installing a precompiled package.
