With the gspca module included in 2.6.27, this library is indeed necessary for the gspca supported webcams to work.
Yet, providing the libv4l package in intrepid won't be enough to avoid webcam support regression, as all the applications
that open(/dev/videoX) will need either a LD_PRELOAD hack or a patch to use libv4l.
