We (Robotics section of Debian Science team) are packaging 
ROS (Robot OS: http://www.ros.org/) for Debian. ROS uses   
many packages already in Debian, but also has a set of   
core/toolchain/build-system packages which are not yet 
uploaded. This package is part of that ROS system.

Most of the packaging work is already done, and available at
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/ros/

  Description     : Robot OS camera and image libraries

 This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). It contains several ROS
 packages for working with images: camera_info_manager,
 camera_calibration_parsers, polled_camera, and image_transport.
 .
 camera_info_manager provides a C++ interface for camera calibration
 information.  It provides CameraInfo, and handles SetCameraInfo
 service requests, saving and restoring the camera calibration data.
 .    
 camera_calibration_parsers contains routines for reading and writing
 camera calibration parameters
 .
 polled_camera contains a service and C++ helper classes for
 implementing a polled camera driver node and requesting images from
 it. The package is currently for internal use as the API is still
 under development. C++, python and LISP bindings are provided.
 .    
 image_transport should always be used to subscribe to and publish
 images. It provides transparent support for transporting images in
 low-bandwidth compressed formats.
