It should be; from the current Packages file:
Package: qcam
Version: 0.91-9
Priority: extra
Section: graphics
Maintainer: Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org>
Depends: libc6.1, libjpeg6b, svgalibg1 | svgalib-dummyg1, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5)
Architecture: alpha

I didn't mean to remove the dummy dependency, but that happened when I
tried to remove the hardcoded libc6 dependency by using the
shlibs:Depends stuff. I've now resorted to trickery :-)

Yes. However, I haven't had success yet on my XLT yet; it didn't detect
the QuickCam. I've dug around in the libs, and discovered that IO ports
are memory-mapped on Alpha's (you learn something new every day :-).
I've not yet determined whether the problem is timing-related; I'll try
it on my UDB when I get that chance. In the meantime, if anyone else
with a QuickCam can give version -9 a try?

Just find a watertight basement with internet connectivity and hack away
for those couple of days :-)
