"CameraCtrls" is the best webcam configuration app I know on Linux, extremely useful for videoconferencing: https://flathub.org/apps/hu.irl.cameractrls
…but its presets management UI is very confusing. I have reported my observations here: https://github.com/soyersoyer/cameractrls/issues/109

I am done with my project. Sort of.
What did not work:
- Letting #sane see my document camera with the proper #backend for #v4l because the latter is simply alpha software and development stopped long time ago- As a direct consequence, I could not integrate the camera into #scanservjs without major changes in this software. A lack of knowledge kept me from doing so.

Right. The trouble with #sane and #v4l #camera|s is its ancient backend
The man-page clearly says:
"This is ALPHA software. Really! Important features are missing and there are lots of bugs. The code is currently only tested on a Linux 2.4 system with a Hauppauge WinTV video card."

Although my setup is configured as sane expects it, the cameras remain inaccessible.
Obviously, "skanlite" (my daily driver) must be using a different way to talk to my cameras

Spent half the night to wrap my head around this and finally getting somewhere with #v4l and #OBSstudio and a loopback device so I can stream this "as fake webcam" over WebRTC in video conferences.
Getting this to run (and smooth!) on #Linux was a PITA. Who would have guessed. And all because I don't want a "streaming" service or some gorram gold membership in a specific video conference "app".
