I actually did it by hand with an earlier version that didn't support NFS as an install target, but it was a bit of a pain. I would suggest that if your only goal is to get to 0.17 then doing an apt-get upgrade with whatever you've currently got would be fairly easy. There are only a very few packages that are xbox specific despite all the packages with "xebian" in the version. I think they include the kernel, nv-drv-xbox, possibly lirc, and alsa, maybe. I just avoided upgrading those packages (since I had no issues with them anyway) and it worked out just fine. I think mythmusic used to require an xbox specific version as well (due to the lack of mixer, maybe) but the generic debian version from the mythtv repo seems to work fine for me.
