[Bug 853994] [NEW] g-c-c User Accounts should be built with webcam support

 

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 11.10 allows users to set their picture using the webcam during
installation, but after installation it's much more cumbersome to set
the userpicture with the webcam. gnome-control-center does support using
the webcam directly but not in Ubuntu. http://library.gnome.org/users
/gnome-help/stable/user-changepicture.html.en

This might require cheese to be a build-dependency (and thus, in main).
Or maybe gnome-control-center could be patched so that it could just use
the same library that ubiquity uses without needing to have cheese
available.
