Attaching the patch we applied in Ubuntu, it applies to the latest
version.

A few reasons , why a better description would suit here is:
We install Cheese by default in Ubuntu netbook
And we feature it as a "Featured Application" in Software center.

It would be only appropriate for it to have a description which does not
minuscule the application, which is probably the only gnome webcam app
which is so easy to use.

We hope the patch is applied in Debian as well.

Thanks.
