Plus it's specifically presented as an unofficial XBMC build from a different group of people.But I see no reason why packages, even for experimental repo are compiled intentionally not as should, this makes everything double experimental. Also Debian Multimedia is intended to be not experimantal, but stable the same as main official Debian repo. This is why I expected multimedia packages to be as stable as Sid packages, not as experimental packages.

I have just checked and the file you provided in your bug report does not make my package hang, but XBMC exits to its menu when it can't continue playing the damaged file.I believe you, but please look at original xbmc. It continues to play this file. Note that it's damaged because of bad dvb-t signal and imagine what happens when you are watching live tv - some intereference and xbmc exits. This should not happen, sorry, I think there is no more explanation needed.

Can you simply treat all of this as bug report in your packages?Sure. I will check original XBMC Beta1, and if the file plays fine I will open a bug for this in Debian. I always do that BTW.

I have xbmc compiled with all default settings (I only added --disable-debug and my custom prefix).

If anyone is skilled in the way of Debian packaging and would like to help then feel free to speak up. Same goes for other linux distros. No promises, of course, but it's always good to know what kind of resources are out there in the community.

the packaging is the easy part and long done. Its about the infrastructure needed for the debian repo. All this has to work automatically, unless somebody is willing to regularly do it manually.
Most of it is already working and I even did a pov repo for wheezy here: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/apt/debian/stable/
The xbmc build there rather old though.
This just needs more work that I currently don't have time for. And tbh its not high prio for me.
edit: in the meantime users are encouraged to use the mk-debian-package.sh script.
