While latest XBMC exists in Debian experimental branch, so it's very easy to install it, in latest RC3 PVR plugins are unfortunately separated. PPA for Ubuntu has pvr* packages, but Debian repository doesn't.
Would be nice to know how to install them. Force Debian maintainer to add this package? Compile myself? Download from other repository?

I don't know how to contact maintainer.
Is it needed to compile this plugins, our are they just simple python projects?

you need to compile them. I guess using the ubuntu ones that are closest to your debian version should work though. Apart from the cmyth addon, none have any dependencies.

Can you recommend some article about how to compile addons? Should I download full xbmc sources or is there repository for pvr addons only?
Edit: ok I have found it on github

Thank you, I did download full sources of xbmc only to read where the repository of addons is...
It's pity pvr package isn't in debian repository, hopefully then final versions will be present.

I didn't find them, anyway there is need to compile VDR plugin too because repos has very old version with unsupported protocol version.
I compiled both, VDR and xbmc plugin and it works great.
