Hi,

Humm...:

snoopy:~$ dpkg -L linux-uvc-source
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/linux-uvc-source
/usr/share/doc/linux-uvc-source/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/linux-uvc-source/copyright
/usr/share/doc/linux-uvc-source/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/src
/usr/src/linux-uvc.tar.bz2
snoopy:~$
snoopy:~$ dpkg -s linux-uvc-source
Package: linux-uvc-source
[...]
Depends: debhelper, module-assistant
[...]

Can someone with debian confirm that linux-uvc-source installs the 
iSight firmware??

Cheers,
