From the information here:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gspca.html
it looks like gspca has been removed from squeeze because the package doesn't (didn't?) comply with Debian policy.
You could try contacting the maintainer and pestering him or her to update the package.
Or you maybe could compile from source?
