Um... why?

GGZ does't work without its libs, but kdegames doesn't make it 
mandatory. Lots of auth stuff doesn't work without polkit-qt, but it 
isn't mandatory.

I have reverted this patch locally as there is no libv4l2 on Fedora and 
I have no webcam. Why should I jump through hoops for a feature I will 
never use?

I don't care if you disable the entire webcam subsystem if libv4l2 is 
missing (with a big fat warning, of course), I only need to send and 
recieve text via jabber. Not even voice, much less video.
