As far as I remember, the main purpose of one of the early updates (1.0->1.0.1 or 1.1->1.1.1) was to change some filesystem properties (compression?) to make bigger update (1.0.1->1.1 or 1.1.1->1.2) possible with less space available on device (please correct me if I'm wrong, it was >2 years ago, I can be wrong).

Wouldn't it be better to edit control files to mimic other package (so it won't get overwritten after each camera-ui update)? Or does Nicolai's camera-ui package replace some files used by stock camera-ui, so it would require making this operation everytime? (but it would still be easier - have this package as e.g. stock-camera-ui and just reinstall it after each camera-ui upgrade, so files would get overwritten again).

By the way, I feel highly offtopic right now
