If they'll accept a deactivate-by-software solution, then they're basically just taking your word for it regardless of what OS you are using. That being the case, just tell them that its been deactivated and/or put a piece of tape across the sensor. You could also just not tell them that your phone has a camera.
Outside of that, you'll need root access to the device and just delete the camera components. This, of course, depends on your ability to get root, which may or may not be easy/possible depending on how the manufacturer configured the device.
