Re: Bug#347328: Please disable kernel pwc (Philips USB webcam) module by default

I am asking for the in-kernel pwc module (Philips USB webcam) to be disabled
by default, as it doesn't work with the majority of their webcam chipsets
commonly in use. More importantly, it also conflicts with the resulting
package built from the source contained in the pwc-source package (two
different pwc.ko files placed in 2 different modules dir for the same kernel
version... during modprobe, kernel picks their version always ).
pwc-source should put the modules in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates so
that it gets priority over the kernel's own modules. See #261618 for
details.
