Comment 20 for bug 224559

I'd suggest to just use the newest version. You can either compile it yourself or use the Debian package:

sudo -i
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libv4l/libv4l-0_0.6.4-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i libv4l-0_0.6.4-1_i386.deb

If you need another architecture, check: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libv4l-0

The symbols in libv4l-0 are versioned, so this newer version should just work.
