This might be a bit of a monster to package.   Freevo can be had from deb "http://freevo.sourceforge.net/debian unstable main" in your apt sources list.  Look at Knoppmyth.  Those guys have a special stripped down Knoppix to install MythTV (a similar program to freevo with more functionality).  Believe me, Knoppmyth was a god-send to those who had trouble installing MythTV.
  You might want to try packaging WebVCR+.  http://webvcrplus.sourceforge.net/  It is a similar, but way simplified project utilizing Perl.  Look at its requirements though.  http://webvcrplus.sourceforge.net/requirements.html
  This may not really work either unless you can get the TV card detected and setup by DamnSmall.  Back when I was messing with Flonix, a DamnSmall derivative, I think it had auto detect for TV cards and I know that full-blown Knoppix does.  That is a very complex process to setup by hand and you may not be able to save your changes that will make it work.  Good Luck and I hope you get one of them to work, I just wanted to warn you.
  For all of them you need Mplayer.  If you really make one of these into a .dsl, you may want to include all the requirements (Mplayer, Xine, python, php, Mysql, etc.) or have a script that sets DSL up to use apt-get (install dsl-dpkg, then change the apt/sources.list) and then grabs all the requirements.  Did I mention it will be complex?
