The output of:
$ dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.6.27-6.slh.5-sidux-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca/gspca_sonixj.ko

will reveal this is a bug that is not in any Debian package. It is a bug
in the Linux upstream version that is provided by the sidux linux kernel
package, and can be reported to the sidux forums (some threads already exist
which concern the new gspca drivers, search for them before creating a new
thread).

Thanks, Kel.
