MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-fake-background-
webcam-opt-git [2]:

Abandoned and long-broken package from 2021.

There is a more popular and better upstream-aligning PKGBUILD on AUR
under the name 'fake-background-webcam-git'. [a]

While the upstream repo name is 'Linux-Fake-Background-Webcam', I
believe the latter package's submitter has chosen a better pkgname,
because 'linux-*' pkgnames typically mean linux kernel variants, or
(less frequently), linux kernel drivers/modules.

Whereas this package does not depend on the linux kernel package at
all, nor does it contain any kernel mods or drivers. Instead, it runs
exclusively in userspace, and communicates with the kernel video
drivers via the API's of the 'v4l2loopback-dkms' module.
