Bug Description

Ubuntu 11.10 allows users to set their picture using the webcam during installation, but after installation it's much more cumbersome to set the userpicture with the webcam. gnome-control-center does support using the webcam directly but not in Ubuntu. http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/user-changepicture.html.en

This might require cheese to be a build-dependency (and thus, in main). Or maybe gnome-control-center could be patched so that it could just use the same library that ubiquity uses without needing to have cheese available.

Thank Jeremy, indeed that would be nice but cheese has depends on clutter and universe components like mx and we didn't want to add those to the CD for Oneiric, maybe next cycle

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * debian/control.in:
    - Build-depend on cheese for webcam integration in User Accounts panel
      (LP: #853994)
    - Don't build-depend on gnome-doc-utils
    - Depend on minimum gnome-settings-daemon built with ibus
  * debian/patches/git-rename-bluetooth-panel.patch:
    - Rename the bluetooth panel to its 3.8 filename so that the
      Bluetooth Settings link in GNOME Shell 3.8 works

  [ William Hua ]
  * debian/control.in:
    - Add IBus (build) dependency.

  * debian/patches/10_keyboard_layout_on_unity.patch:

    - Since Ubuntu's gnome-screenshot doesn't save to the Pictures directory
      automatically, don't say that it does in Keyboard>Shortcuts
  * debian/patches/input-sources-text-entry.patch:
    - Implement text entry panel by modifying input sources panel.
