Sven is right. The packaged version has the "umcompressor thingy"
and it's the latest version from upstream [0]. But it's older than
the kernel. I'm going to mail upstream asking for a official 10.0.12
tarball.
The thing is that the umcompressor is needed to get working the
webcam on higher resolutions. So my version is still needed by some
users.
