Okay, now I found it. In my build chroot, libdc1394-13-dev was
installed. This is of course something I didn't expect, but shows that
the current situations wrt build-depends is too fragile. I wanted to
make it easier for backporting the package, but if that means that we
provoce bugs like this (which I didn't forsee) I'd suggest that we
depend explicitly on libdc1394-22 and Build-Conflict against the older
libs. In case of backports, that diff has to be maintained.
