Hmm. I think I would prefer to have a structure like this:

lib/
	libv4l1/
	libv4l2/
	libv4lconvert/
utils/
	v4l2-dbg
	v4l2-ctl
	cx18-ctl
	ivtv-ctl
contrib/
	test/
	everything else

And everything in lib and utils can be packaged by distros, while contrib
is not packaged.

What would also be nice is if this project http://v4l-test.sourceforge.net/
could eventually be merged in v4l2-apps.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean.
