Bug#562765: cheese segfaults immediately upon startup

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Package: cheese
Version: 3.4.1-1+b1
Followup-For: Bug #562765

Cheese fails upon startup as described by others above. Further 
investigating the issue using gstreamer-properties' Test Video
Source button shows that gstreamer's V4L2 implementation might
in fact be what's broken:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
