I believe linux-headers should be added as dependency.
@lorcap see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DKMS_package_guidelines#Dependencies why headers should not be in dependencies.
==> WARNING: backup entry file not in package : etc/modprobe.d/droidcam.conf
This seems indeed like a bug. This file should only be backed up for v4l2loopback-dc-dkms package, not for both of them.

It took me a while to figure out why droidcam complained about a missing kernel module despite the package compilation and installation succeeded. Then I reinstalled the package and noticed the following error:
==> Unable to install module v4l2loopback-dc/1.7.2 for kernel *: Missing kernel headers.
which I fixed by installing linux-headers.

When running makepkg, I get the following warning:

Could you add v4l2loopback-dkms as an alternative dependency to v4l2loopback-dc-dkms, since either of those packages will do the job?

@invidian Yes that seems to be the cause for my problem. Removing it via modprobe -r snd-aloop brings my internal soundcard back. For now I decided to just remove snd-aloop from /etc/modules-load.d/droidcam.conf and try to use my internal microphone instead of the one of my smartphone.

@patchcard2 perhaps this is because we load snd-aloop kernel module?
patchcard2 commented on 2021-01-20 17:01
For some reason, after installing this package ALSA did not recognize my internal soundcard anymore: snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: cannot find the slot for index 0 (range 0-1), error: -1

@maximbaz thanks for explanation! I replaced ../.. with ${srcdir} then.
maximbaz commented on 2021-01-14 16:37
@invidian: it fails as hexhu describes when you build in isolated environment in chroot, e.g. install devtools package and run extra-x86_64-build.
I would suggest avoid using relative paths and just use ${srcdir} in place of ../../

Manjaro is spam here, and the maintainer already said he can't install a different distribution just to support some users. Manjaro users: Please refrain from making further comments and use Manjaro support channels instead.
