Hi,

Between :

- having 6 packages, so wonder which one to choose (for ex. in my case 
by default v4l was installed, afterwards I saw that uvc works only in 
v4l2, reinstall v4l2, remove v4l...), complexify the dependencies etc.

- having 1 package, with each plugin having about 150kB (IIRC)

do you still choose the first?  I think "simpler is better", but if you 
really think it's better to have several packages, I will modify it.
