Yes, makes sense to me, even though I guess that backport will have to
wait until after trixie is released?

Or maybe I should simply include a patched version of the ov08x40 driver
along with a dkms package of https://github.com/intel/usbio-drivers .
Not realle a DD so this is purely theoretical, but would that be allowed
or is there a policy preventing dkms packages from replacing mainline
drivers?

I realize that I'll have to cheat to make dkms auto-install it - but
that can be done with a file in /usr/share/dkms/modules_to_force_install.

FWIW, the usbio-drivers dkms package will be required for ThinkPad X1
Carbon Gen 12 camera support anyway until Intel, or someone else, makes
those drivers suitable for mainline.
