A whole area of science that depend on image analyses (from microscopic to astronomics) might like to include different programs to control cameras. Some ideas:
Firewire/IEEE1394 kernel modules, libraries and the coriander program. Though I have the impression that this interface is currently under transition and not working properly with the Linux kernel currently included in Debian/Unstable: http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration Anyhow the Firewire interface (and coriander) support many cameras. Video4Linux: an apt-get search gave me a whole bunch of libraries and applications, partly overlapping Firewire. Maybe only a part of it will be sufficient. Probably there is more for acquiring images from cameras available on GNU/Debian, but I think this will cover the most important ones.
