I run Debian Wheezy amd64. Some 32 bit applications are installed, and
somehow I came to a point where ia32libs wanted to update and

I just installed a fresh Debian 6.0, and got the problem that video doesn't
show, specifically in skype (neither preview nor call) and cheese (preview).
The webcam appears to work fine, since it shows up at the remote end on skype

The license is non-free and does not allow copying and distribution for
"profit purposes". I had to update the copyright because of bug 696916
