To tell the truth, as someone who is following the linux hardware support, I can tell you that I didn't see lately any cam from the major player (Microsoft, Logitech, Creative, Philips) that is not supported. Some are supported only partially and some (specially Logitech) are fully supported.

I don't have gspca for my current kernel (2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686) and the gspca-source package didn't compile for it (there are Debian bugs filed for it). My story with gspca and the above video card is filed as bugs with Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444314
