I'm currently facing the same problem, but with v4l and v4l2 swapped:
I have a uvcvideo (i.e. v4l2-only) webcam.

ekiga 2.0.3-6+b1 in testing recognizes it correctly. In the configuration 
druid, it only offers me a "V4L2" entry for the "Video Manager" step.

However, ekiga 2.0.11-2 in unstable only offers "V4L", not "V4L2". When 
clicking on "test settings" one screen later, or when restarting ekiga 
after the druid is finished, I always get an error message that "opening 
/dev/video0 failed". It looks a bit as if the v4l_2_ support is gone..?

BTW, I am running the unstable version in my unstable chroot. But that 
shouldn't be a problem... I can access the webcam fine using luvcview both 
under testing and unstable, as /dev is bind-mounted to the chroot's /dev.

Cheers,

  Richard
