My bug seems to be related to the lack of libv4l package in Ubuntu/Debian.

From gspcav2 creator homepage (http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca_README.txt)

V4L library

 Most applications don't know how to decode the raw frames generated
 by the driver, and also, many of them do not speak the V4L2
 interface. To make them work, you need the V4L application
 library found at:

  http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hgoede/v4l-dvb

 To generate:
  cd v4l2-apps/lib/libv4l/
  make
  make install
  (the installation is done under /usr/local)

 To use it:
  export LD_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/
  LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so <application>

camorama still doesn't work, but cheese, ekiga and aMsn are working.
