v4l2loopback-dkms 0.8.0-1: v4l2loopback kernel module failed to build

[jamet]

don't know if it's because i'm running a 3.19 kernel, but the repo package could not be installed, i will try the git repo.

edit : compiling and installing from the git repo works like a charm : https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

According to the Debian bug #786779, upgrading to v42loopback 0.9.0 should solve this issue as it compile properly with newer Linux kernels (including 4.0).

FYI, debuild'ing the last Debian package on Trusty solved the problem for me.
