The inclusion of tveeprom in v4l is not a packaging decision, it happened upstream. > A simple "alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv" in modprobe.conf fixed the problem. The idea with the shared modules renamed to *-ivtv is that you should try w/o the aliasing (e.g. the v4l versions), and check if it works. If not, use the aliases to get a running system, but please take your time to report the problems you have with the v4l developers (https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list), Cced.
