Duplicated stuff always hurts. The scan files and config files are very specific to dvb-apps, some applications do rely on these config files. It doesn't really make sense to have split out config files for these small applications. > >> Will decide to >> drop the config files as needed from dvb-apps.

Did you think that the dvb-apps just came out of thin air ? development of dvb-applications, implies eventually config files also will be updated as necessary. Having them in separate repositories makes such work harder for working. while working with dvb-apps, it would make things saner if it is the same SCM, rather than having different SCM's. So according to you, you want to make it still harder for someone to work with dvb-apps.
