You seem to have difficulties to find a sponsor for your package. I see two problems not related to packaging: - README tells that the software is really a hack, has high CPU usage and it should become useless at some point (still image support is not yet available in the UVC driver). When a software is included into Debian, it will stay in it for quite some time (longer than a release, about two years). If uvccapture becomes useless or breaks just after lenny is out, this is a pity. - This is a very specific software targetted at people owning this specific piece of hardware and needing a soft for taking periodic snapshots. I suppose that it is because the lack of image support in USB UVC drivers that this software uses a specific approach to take pictures? As a sponsor, not being able to test the software is a major drawback. You may try to find a sponsor by looking at maintainers shipping video (and webcam) related softwares in Debian. They may be more interested in uvccapture and they are more likely to have hardware to test it. -- No fortunes found
