It seems the upstream development has stopped years ago. The latest thing I had found was a 0.7.0 release that was not even on sf.net, but even that was long time ago. That release however only included some changes to allow the driver to compile on newer kernels. So basically all development of that driver happens through distro-patches now.

There are two versions of the driver in the intrepid kernel-package source, however only one of them is compiled. The patch should be applied to the one in ubuntu/qc-usb and the driver in ubuntu/misc/media/quickcam should be removed.

The patch should also fix the Problem for the "Quickcam Web", since this driver is used for 046d:0850, too.
