As root

cd /opt/ros/electric/stacks
svn co https://bosch-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bosch-ros-pkg
source ../setup.sh 
cd bosch-ros-pkg/trunk/stacks/bosch_drivers/usb_cam/

Modified steps

cd /opt/ros/electric/stacks
svn co https://bosch-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bosch-ros-pkg
source ../setup.sh 
cp -r bosch-ros-pkg/trunk/stacks/bosch_drivers/usb_cam .
cd usb_cam

Remove the <rosdep name="libswscale-dev"/> line from manifest.xml. A check of Synaptic shows it is there and the follow step will fail if this line is present.

rosdep install usb_cam
rosmake usb_cam
