I essentially found an old 0.22-fixes .deb and extracted the /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend file from it and am using it. What's really odd is I don't know what action finally caused the file to be removed. It looks like it hasn't been part of the packages for quite a while.
I'm hoping it will get added back to the mythtv-backend package for jaunty (9.04). Although, moving on to at least karmic (9.10) increasingly seems to be a good idea. 9.04 support is waning in many areas.
David.
