Hmmm, I'll have to dig this out. I wrote in a previous libgphoto2
changelog entry:
,--[ 2.4.1-2 ]--
| * Version the Recommends on udev (which is conditionally specified
| through the ${udev-hotplug} variable in debian/rules), since
| libgphoto2 now uses the alternative syntax (that is: key!="a|b"),
| which apparently was introduced in udev 0.109. Adding “(>= 0.113-1)”
| since that's the first version in Debian which included this
| feature. Many thanks to Jan Echternach for having spotted the problem
| as well as its solution (Closes: #491065).

So maybe the “|” support went away.
Thanks for your report.
