[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

v4l1 is obsolete. Package needs updated to use v4l2 API or libv4l.

[Jaromil (jaromil)]

Upstream is 1.1.1 and has already moved to V4L2 API.

for your convenience, packages are ready to test on my ppa:jaromil/rastasoft

ciao

I'm marking this Fix Released since the Oneiric version is 1.1.2-1 and seems to build fine. The failed build was actually from Natty in March but Natty does have packages so I don't think there's anything that needs fixing now.
