@jstew: Nice! If you have a Launchpad PPA, you could offer the plugin there for other users.
To avoid confusion: gda has different PPA's for jaunty and karmic, all VDR packages of gda include the so called "extensions patch".
Regarding karmic, gda has started off with the PPA vdr-devel [1], which is now not maintained any longer because things are now happening in team work with hotzenplotz5 and others in [2]. In [2], all packages from [1] are present and sometimes even more up-to-date.
So basically: For karmic + VDR 1.7.9 + extensions patch: Use [2]. ;-)
For karmic + VDR 1.7.9 + multipatch: Use [3]
How to decide which of these versions to use ? Hard to tell... It depends on compatibility regarding the plugins, you want to use. Just try it...
A comparison of the different repo contents is still available at [4].
For VDR+XBMC, you need the following packages as a minmum:
If you want more VDR-frontends beside XBMC-PVR-Testing (which is still not stable as a TV frontend) there are at least the following options:

[2] https://launchpad.net/~the-vdr-team/+archive/vdr-ubuntu-karmic

For VDR+XBMC, you need the following packages as a minmum:
- vdr (equip it with an appropriate channels.conf in /var/lib/vdr)
- vdr-plugin-streamdev-server (configure it to allow connections from local network)
- xbmc (build of branch pvr-testing - for examlpe from my PPA [5])
If you want more VDR-frontends beside XBMC-PVR-Testing (which is still not stable as a TV frontend) there are at least the following options:
- Streaming Live TV to VLC (or other media players): Use vdr-plugin-streamdev-server (Open http://vdr-ip:3000 in web browser for channel list)
- Web Frontend on http://vdr-ip:8008 : Package vdr-plugin-live
- libxine*-based VDR-frontends with OSD and VDPAU (control via remote control or keyboard):
- vdr-sxfe from package xineliboutput-sxfe on the client and vdr-plugin-xineliboutput on the vdr-server
- client: xine-ui+libxine*-xvdr, VDR-Server: vdr-plugin-xine
- vdr-sxfe from package xineliboutput-sxfe on the client and vdr-plugin-xineliboutput on the vdr-server
