Clean way to disable integrated webcam, but not USB webcam?

In an old (and now closed) thread, two solutions for disabling webcams were discussed:

1. unload the matching module
2. remove permissions of /dev/video0

The first has the disadvantage of disabling all webcams (not just the internal one), the second one has the disadvantage of being called "hacky" and - this is why I'm starting this new thread - isn't permanent as I now discovered.

So has anyone an idea how to disable the internal webcam permanently without disabling ones attached by USB?
(No, I don't want to use a hammer... ;-) )


PS:
Sorry for the previous "necrobumping"; I thought it was appropriate because of the rule "If you have a version-agnostic or corresponding solution, necrobumping can be appropriate."
