Public bug reported: 1. Availability: Has been packaged in Ubuntu & Debian for years; the latest version is in Saucy 2. Rationale: This blocks bug 853994. While the installer allows using the webcam to set the user picture, Ubuntu does not provide a way to do that after install. Both gnome-control-center and gnome-contacts can optionally build with cheese to allow this.
Now that laptops are more popular than desktops, it may be worth shipping Cheese by default but we at least want the webcam support in System Settings and Contacts. 3.
