This package Recommends gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0, which is no longer
maintained upstream (and has been effectively unmaintained for a while),
and gir1.2-cheese-3.0, which is also effectively unmaintained.

When clutter-gtk and cheese are removed from Debian (see #1018115,
#1018113, etc.), this will become release-critical due to this rule:

    In addition, the packages in main
    * must not require or recommend a package outside of main for
      compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare
      a Pre-Depends, Depends, **Recommends**, Build-Depends,
      Build-Depends-Indep, or Build-Depends-Arch relationship on a
      non-main package unless that package is only listed as a non-default
      alternative for a package in main),

    — Debian Policy §2.2.1 "The main archive area"

The webcam integration doesn't seem to be very reliable anyway:

Please consider disabling this feature.
