Thank you for your bug report, but I disagree. The Mythbuntu team will
not be packaging or supporting any softcam related stuff. There is
nothing stopping you from doing that yourself.

Some people consider the use of a softcam illegal. My opinion is that a softcam can be used illegally, but if you use it in combination with a valid subscription card on one PC only it is perfectly legal. In fact I see no difference with a real CAM, which contains the same kind of software (firmware).
