Hi everybody,
Trying to get motion running on a debian server to monitor
several web cams. No matter what I do, motion seems to
try (and fail) to open the non-existent /dev/video0, despite
the only camera defined in the config files is configured
with netcam_url.
What am I missing?

You either specified netcam in a wrong config, or motion cannot find
the config you specified
Please show the log

I just started using the program two days ago. I had the same problem with that
video line. Just commented out and everything should work. At least it did for
me

My problem is that the HW video interface is not mentioned
anywhere in my config files - the only camera specification is
the netcam_url one.

My guess was correct:
[0:motion] [ALR] [ALL] config_camera: Camera config file camera-1.conf
not found: No such file or directory
Make sure motion is able to access your config
And I suggest you ti update to the latest version:
https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases
