If it's just a question of adding usb ids to the udev rules like in bug #69156 and bug #67532, maybe a package update could be considered? Otherwise try filing a backport request for the package.
OTOH, the edgy libgphoto2 seems to have issues with PTP, see bug #63473. -- latest version of libgphoto2 in 6.06LTS does not support recent camera models https://launchpad.net/bugs/61426 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
