Bug Description

1. Availability: Has been packaged in Ubuntu & Debian for years; the latest version is in Saucy
2. Rationale: This blocks bug 853994. While the installer allows using the webcam to set the user picture, Ubuntu does not provide a way to do that after install. Both gnome-control-center and gnome-contacts can optionally build with cheese to allow this.

Now that laptops are more popular than desktops, it may be worth shipping Cheese by default but we at least want the webcam support in System Settings and Contacts.

3. Security: No security vulnerability history

4. QA:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A"cheese"
5. UI standards: Yes, translated and has a valid .desktop.
6. Dependencies: I believe all are in main except gnome-video-effects which is MIR bug 1189173.
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/gnome-video-effects/saucy/view/head:/debian/control.in
7. Standards Compliance: 3.9.3
8. Maintenance: Basically in sync with Debian except that we don't need to use the "bad" gstreamer plugins. Maintained by the Debian GNOME Team.

This seems totally legit once gnome-video-effects is in main.

However, the upstream source doesn't ship the FDL license needed in help/, mind talking with upstream about fixing that? Once done, I'm happy to approve it once the version in ubuntu has the license file and gnome-video-effects acked.

The rest of the package and lintian looks fine.

Didier, the licensing has been straightened out upstream. help/ is available under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. I updated debian/copyright to the new format reflecting this and uploaded to Ubuntu.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/3.8.3-0ubuntu1

And I've uploaded gnome-contacts build-depending on cheese

ok, lookg good to me!

Approving with latest changes. Please add the build-dep to g-c-c so that we can promote that one and gnome-video-effect to main.

gnome-contacts is in main and has had the build-dependency for a few days now.

I'm holding off on doing a gnome-control-center upload until indicator-keyboard lands.
