I disagree that this bug is a duplicate of Bug #260918. This bug is about how some drivers in gspca driver, like zc3xx, that were blocked by non-gspca drivers, in this case zc0301. Another non-gspca driver like sn9c102 is also preventing the gspca driver to load. For more information:

blacklisting is not enough since gspca has been built into the Kernel, but it has to be recompiled as described in my comments above. After all that the webcam is finally detected by the gspca driver. In case of Bug #260918, there is no problem with a webcam not being detected. The webcams are detected, but provided a distorted picture.
In my case I also got a distorted picture and had to apply v4l1compat.so, but only after I recompiled the driver and my webcam was detected. Those two bugs are completely separate. Again see the kernel bugzilla entry.
