I was checking the Debian repositories, and MythTV is available on the 
Christian Marillat's external repository. You mentioned it was complex? 
Here is what you get when you use apt to install it:

The following extra packages will be installed:
   libdbd-mysql-perl libdvdnav4 libiec61883-0 libmysqlclient15off 
libmyth-0.19 libqt3-mt-mysql libraw1394-8
   mysql-client mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server 
mysql-server-5.0 mythtv-backend mythtv-common
   mythtv-database mythtv-frontend pwgen
Suggested packages:
   mythtv-debug mythweb mythmusic mythweather mythgallery mythdvd 
mythvideo mythgame
Recommended packages:
   mailx mythtv-doc mythtv-themes xmltv-util
The following NEW packages will be installed:
   libdbd-mysql-perl libdvdnav4 libiec61883-0 libmysqlclient15off 
libmyth-0.19 libqt3-mt-mysql libraw1394-8
   mysql-client mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server 
mysql-server-5.0 mythtv mythtv-backend
   mythtv-common mythtv-database mythtv-frontend pwgen

A brief glance shows that MythTV also installs a pretty complete MySQL 
database system. That has its own dependencies. I would not want to try 
to resolve them without a good package management system.
