To get it working do this (for kernel 2.6.10-5-386, please amend for your system):

apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386 linux-tree-2.6.10 linux-source-2.6.10
cd /usr/src
bunzip linux-source-2.6.10.tar.bz2
tar xf linux-source-2.6.10.tar
ln -s linux-source-2.6.10 linux
cd linux
cp ../linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386/.config .
(here I tested with make or make modules but that resulted in "internal compiler
error: Segmentation fault", no worries, this doesn't effect the building of the
webcam module)

if no /dev/video exists, do this
cd /dev
mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
ln -s video0 video

get the latest version of http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
cd /tmp
tar zxf spca5xx-20050328.tar.gz
cd spca5xx-20050328
change in Makefile this line
KERNELDIR := /lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/build
into this line
KERNELDIR := /usr/src/linux
make clean
make
make install

now it should work and you can test with gqcam

you might want to keep a copy of the spca5xx-20050328 directory for make uninstall

clean up the mess:
dpkg -P install linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386 linux-tree-2.6.10 linux-source-2.6.10
rm -rf /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.10 /tmp/spca5xx-20050328*
