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. -- Cheers, Vish
