Just to point out two flaws in your logic:
- Kino was never included in the default install of Ubuntu, so there was never an app that could capture over firewire to begin with.
- Camcorder users do not necessarily use DV over Firewire. There are plenty of DVD camcorders and hard-disk camcorders, and photo cameras used as HD camcorders (so you dump the files directly from the memory card). Firewire/DV camcorders are a vanishingly small market segment. I'm not saying it is not important to support, but I'm just putting your claim in perspective; not everybody uses this.
Canonical is welcome to hire somebody to provide a patch to implement this feature in PiTiVi, otherwise it will not be done in the very-near-future.
