Do you have a preference on name? I left them split so I could have a
"libwebcam" and "uvcdynctrl" package name. If they are merged I would have to
have "libwebcam-uvcdynctrl" or "uvcdynctrl-libs" package name, which I wasn't
fond of. I realize they rely on each other and are from one SCM.

I propose "libwebcam-*" and have a Provides for "uvcdynctrl" to
"libwebcam-uvcdynctrl".

I will also take a moment to write a autobiography:
The open source Idea has inspired me for about the past 10 years when I first
downloaded a Linux distro. A few years ago I moved beyond having it as a hobby
into using it for my $DAYJOB as a C programmer, which I am still active in. My
experiences include time with OpenSSL, libxml, GTK, MinGW, and many more open
source efforts. I've also written Debian packages for my Nokia N900 (stopish
app and a FLAC metadata plugin). I give back to Fedora and other open source
communities when I can with discussions and, yes, patches. I currently have
several packages across the Red Hat Bugzilla and others that have patches
either accepted or in limbo. My FAS account is "mooninite" and you can see my
activities as a semi-active QA member. I also try to stay active in the mailing
lists as I use many Fedora/Red Hat packaged tools in my $DAYJOB so I am
involved in everything from koji/build-sys to devel to users and to test. I'm
not one to fancy any credit or glory so my name may not be as popular as some
we all know, but I do wish to contribute where and when I can.
