I used the apt-get and had problems with package dependencies. At one point I had to remove yum. I also had to manually specify python4 installation (got it from atrpms). I went for the new versions of ivtv- fw-*.bin instead of the all-in-one package and that also caused some dependency problems, so I had to switch back.
All the while I was thinking that apt-get was supposed to help in dependencies. I tend to bend the rules from time-to-time, installing something from a tarball instead of an RPM so I use rpm's --nodep after which apt-get seems to refuse to work. Initscripts gave me problems. FC3 would lock up at startup so I had to update that. I also ended up going for the upgraded ivtv drivers from ivtv.no-ip.com which I installed over top of the kernel-module-ivtv package so as to keep RPM's dependencies intact. Aside from that I had a brand new PVR 350 with a remote that was not yet mentioned in Jarod's howto, so I had to think on my feet. I spent most of my time fighting the PVR350's TV-out, it must be a new revision because I had problems not mentioned in the lists. good luck.
