Bug#289307: Integrate to kernel-source?

Since this package claims to be GPL (although there might be issues with the
reverse engineering which this code is based on) is there any reason not to
integrate this code into the kernel-source package and have the pwc.ko
module compiled automatically to kernel-packages? 

The kernel-package-2.6.10-1-686 package already contains several usb-webcam
drivers in the /drivers/usb/media/ directory which are approximately the
same size as pwc.ko.
