Status in “mythplugins” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythplugins

Right in the jamu code there is the following check:

if not mythdb.getSetting('BackendServerIP', hostname = localhostname):
 	sys.stderr.write(u"\n! Error: Jamu must be run on a MythTV backend. Local host (%s) is not a MythTV backend.\n" % localhostname)
	sys.exit(1)

and yet mythvideo installs a cron job in cron.hourly which executes the script with the above check in it.  mythvideo is typically installed on frontends, not backends so /etc/cron.hourly/mythvideo, as it is currently, does not belong in the mythvideo package.
