Just checked with Ekiga 2.0.12 (Squeeze, kernel 2.6.28.6) and it works OK.
Gspca won't be of any help, it's the uvc driver you need.

Lenny's kernel is 2.6.26, it was the first to include uvcvideo, it may
be a bit buggy.
If you get too many errors for your taste, try building uvcvideo module
from sources. You can get a tarball of the latest snapshot there:

Details are at the bottom of uvc project page on Berlios.de

But this is definitely out of the "just work" prerequisite ;-)
