Below there are steps I followed to build module from source, install and load it. I'm providing some more information about
etoile:~/#apt-get install qc-usb-source
etoile:~/#cd /usr/src
etoile:/usr/src#tar xzvf qc-usb-modules.tar.gz
etoile:/usr/src#cd /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-k7/build
etoile:/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-k7/build# make-kpkg modules_image
.... COMPILER OUTPUT FOLLOWS BELOW NEXT '-----' LINE
etoile:/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-k7/build# cd /usr/src/
etoile:/usr/src# dpkg -i qc-usb-modules-2.6.8-2-k7_0.6.2-2+10.00.Custom_i386.deb
etoile:/usr/src# modprobe quickcam
etoile:/usr/src# dmesg
Linux video capture interface: v1.00

Still nothing!
I checked if everything is ok with module. Here is the modinfo:

Package: qc-usb-source Version: 0.6.2-2
Package builds module 'quickcam' successfully. But after installing and loading module camera doesn't work. The problem appeared after I upgraded from 2.6.8-1-k7 to 2.6.8-2-k7. I'm able to use camera only if I switch back to previous kernel 2.6.8-1-k7 or if I build sources found at http://home.mag.cx/messenger/source/qc-usb-messenger-0.8.tar.gz (its date is 2005.01.04)
That source is not the same as the package I'm providing.
Did you recompile the modules when you upgraded kernels?
Here is the dmesg output - just 2 (two) lines for kernel 2.6.8-2-k7:
Linux video capture interface: v1.00 usbcore: registered new driver quickcam
Here is what demsg say when module built and used with 2.6.8-1-k7 kernel:
$ dmesg | grep quick
quickcam [16.551305]: ----------LOADING QUICKCAM MODULE------------
quickcam [16.551315]: struct quickcam size: 2192
usbcore: registered new driver quickcam
quickcam: QuickCam USB camera found (driver version QuickCam Messenger/Communicate USB $Date: 2004/12/21 10:00:00 $)

quickcam [16.580687]: E00A contains 08F0
quickcam: Sensor VV6450 detected
quickcam: Registered device: /dev/video1
My opinion is that package in Debian "testing" is based on old version of the driver. Could this be a problem?
I'm using Debian "Sarge", kernel 2.6.8-2-k7, on AMD Barton 2600+, nVidia nForce 2 chipset. I have correct kernel-headers installed on my PC. There are not other issues with USB devices that I noticed.
