Hmm. I think I would prefer to have a structure like this:
lib/
libv4l1/
libv4l2/
libv4lconvert/
utils/
v4l2-dbg
v4l2-ctl
cx18-ctl
ivtv-ctl
contrib/
test/
everything else
And everything in lib and utils can be packaged by distros, while contrib
is not packaged.
What would also be nice is if this project http://v4l-test.sourceforge.net/
could eventually be merged in v4l2-apps.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean.
