You can just remove camera roll from your iCloud backup if you want. I think I'll do that soon, because I have Photo Stream enabled, which automatically saves my pictures to my PC, and Dropbox, which uploads all my photos.
I'm sure you already know this, but you can find the option in:
Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage. Then choose your phone's backup and you'll see the options. It's likely that the camera roll is taking up most of your iCloud space anyway.
