This is the script run when hotplug detects one of the digital cameras. the gphoto2 package for [DigitalCamera]s comes with its own usbcam script for this purpose, but it sets the [USB] device to be owned by the user that owns /dev/console, which doesn't work under debian. This works fine assuming you are the only person on your computer, or you trust the other users not to delete your photos from your camera :p.
