There is no libdv1394 -- you're probably mixing it up with libdv. dv1394
is a kernel interface to capture dv data that has been deprecated for
quite a while. It's superseded by libiec61883, and that's what kino uses
now. I don't know why the --with-dv1394 was added to the Debian package
in the first place, but this option is strongly discouraged upstream and
gave rise to several problem reports both upstream and in the Debian BTS
whereas capture via libiec61883 is in good, supported shape and just
works.
