Try saving the attached file as /etc/hal/fdi/information/10-quickcam.fdi and then plug the webcam in.
(I couldn't test it with cheese since the quickcam-module currently does not build with the 2.6.26 kernel from intrepid)

This however is only a workaround specific to your device and /dev-path. My cam for example would be /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_46d_840_noserial and other people might have more than one cam so it might not be /dev/video0 for them.
