That part doesn't matter really, the part that matters is that you get a
rule to name it what you want. Check the section of this link about adding
udev controls if that will help better.
http://wiki.agocontrol.com/index.php/Ago_control_install_debian_wheezy
You need a rule to name it based on the id.

Yeah, I had same issue when on boot two cameras got unpredictable "video*"
thus breaking motion configs.
So I used udev rule file to assign special names according to USB vendor
ids, like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="046d_0991_DE4250F2",
SYMLINK+="webcam0"
SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="046d_0825_77098E00",
SYMLINK+="webcam1"
And then I put /dev/webcam0 into motion's config nad I'm then sure I use
correct camera
