Actually libwebcam is still maintained in svn: http://www.quickcamteam.net/documentation/how-to/how-to-install-the-webcam-tools but you are right just a few applications use it, and since it's not yet included in any distribution most end users will miss some advance features on their webcams. I'm just a bit worried that having two different packages providing the same set of tools may cause some compatibility problems in the future. Binary packages of libwebcam are being prepared and will be available soon, so I guess some compat tests may be in order, maybe splitting uvcdynctrl from libwebcam into a different package and making it incompatible with libv4l would be a good idea.
