Alright people, the wait is over.
I was having some problems with the new version of fCamera but it is sorted out now (sort of).
Here is the new Timelapse. Install as usual (as root):
dpkg -i timelapse_0.17-1_armel.deb
the version number is 0.17 to denote that is based on fcamera 0.1.7. Also, it has a new icon, and you can safely install this with the normal fcamera. You probably need fcam-drivers already installed.
There is a new panel for the options of timelapse photography where you can choose the units of the timer (seconds or minutes). When you press the shutter button all the way the timer starts and if you press again it will stop. I strongly advise you to turn off the capture animations, since it makes everything very slow and can interfere in the timed shots. Also, short timers (<10s) sometimes create some problems, causing timelapse to skip a shot.
I'm in the process of updating the webpage where you can download the deb and the source code, if you want to take a look at it. I'm doing this right now, so don't think it's going to be ages, again.
I still couldn't figure out a way to display a warning that the timer is running. What I usually do is turn on the blink everytime a shot is taken.
Again, sorry for the delay.Now I have to figure out how to submit this to extras-devel. In the meantime, the deb is here and at the webpage.
Hope you enjoy. Let me know about bugs and suggestions

This is a modified FCamera app. FCamera saves in the DNG RAW format, as well as a small jpeg for viewing. I suggest you start in the FCamera thread for more information.

correct. and just to be clear, RAW files are good if you want to have the best possible quality. The 1Mpx image is just the thumbnail preview. You can have automatic JPGs if you select the option "save jpegs to image library".
It is true that this app has no power saving features. I guess that's OK for fcamera but clearly not great for timelapse. Also, it seems so much slower than my original app. I might have to do a major rewrite. let me think about this.
