When trying to import video from an iee1394 device, kino is not able to access /dev/raw1394, so by default, if a user wants to import video from him/her camera, he/she needs to run kino with sudo o gsudo.

I think that apt should print a warning like "You should do <blah> for enabling a user to import video from an iee1394 device",or better, a dialog printing something ike "insert here what users you want to enable to access iee1394" or setting the SETUID bit to /usr/bin/kino.
