Why deprecated?

The README says this package is deprecated. But why does it have to be deprecated?

I understand the effort of maintenance is limited. Last time I tested the suggested replacement libuvc_camera, it conflicted with other Video4Linux users. I think it should be a great idea to leverage the features provided by Video4Linux infrastructure instead of circumventing it by building something else from underneath it.

Maybe it can be renamed to v4l_camera. Anyway a Video4Linux webcam driver should have its place in ROS.
