My understanding is that the libdc1394v2 package actually uses the
system version, if recent enough.

Our goal is to remove that package completely and replace it with
rosdep scripts for all supported versions. On Hardy, that means it
will have to fetch, download, build and install the version 2 library.

I have not figured out how to do all that, yet. Help (and patches) are welcome.
