I also have an Asus K52 with the same problem, webcam led switches on at boot. I solved it editing the file /etc/colord.conf and changing to "UseSANE=false".

With some applications it happens the same, when you start them the led switches on even if the webcam is not active. This can be solved running the application like this:

- For 64bit applications:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so application-command

- For 32bit applications:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so application-command
