Nobody is maintaining dvb-apps for a long time.
I wrote a few years ago a patch adding DVBv5 support there at dvb-apps, but it was very complex, as, internally, it has an abstraction layer that it is too bound to the way the DVBv3 API works, IMHO.
It ends that rewriting from scratch were simpler than fixing dvb-apps for every single new delivery system.
If you want to use scan/zap with a delivery system different than DVB-T/C/S or ATSC, I suggest you to use dvbv5 tools at:
http://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git
They were written to work with DVBv5 API (it also supports DVBv3 - of course without S2/T2 support) and should work with DVB-S2, DVB-T2, etc.

Yes there is. It took a gigantic efforts to fix crappy issues that crept in with
API updates and things did really crawl down. There is an effort to get the apps updated.
