media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps is completely obsolete, unmaintained and buggy. This is one of the few packages still using it. As its usage looks optional, could it be disabled? Thanks
I'm fine with it if there's any plans to drop linuxtv-dvb-apps.

cc @wraeth Are there any plans to remove linuxtv-dvb-apps from the tree? tvheadend-9999 is the only one using it.
After digging around some more, as the app has actively maintained successors (v4l-utils), I'm okay dropping the dep. See bug 626238 also.

Attached ebuilds drops the support for the old app, but also fixes the dvb use flag to enable / disable dvb4linux support. 9999 ebuild updates the configure patch as well.

I've looked a little closer at this. The dependency was bogus in the first place and there's no need to --disable-dvbx. The option doesn't appear to need any additional dependencies. For --enable-dvb4linux, you might want to add sys-kernel/linux-headers.
