Thanks this will be a real time saver for me too! I'd prefer to stick with Jessie if possible, as it is the future.
I permuted kernels on late Wheezy and early Jessie images (~7 months ago) trying to track down some USB webcam issues (two different HP models) on my BBB, no significant difference that I could see -- all had weird problems with repeated frame captures. Ended up doing it with a Raspberry Pi2 instead. I haven't revisited the USB webcams with newer images as the Pi2 is doing good enough for this.
