FYI, Debian imported the previous Ubuntu package and added these patches when preparing 2.22.0 which you might be interested in:
* debian/patches/00_fix_crash_on_init.patch:
+ Added. Fixed crash on intialisation because of running strcmp on NULL.
(From upstream svn)
* debian/patches/10_fallback_on_failure.patch:
+ Added. Fallback to videotestsrc if getting information from the video
device fails
* debian/patches/20_dont_start_pipeline_in_init.patch:
+ Added. Don't create the gstreamer pipeline in the Webcam object
initialisation as this is quite bad style. As a nice side-effect this
fixes cheese not using the webcam device set in gconf.
Looked good! Uploaded.
