The libcamera version in Jammy is a almost 3 years old snaptshot of libcamera because at this time, there was no release of libcamera. libcamera is in active development with an API not yet stabilized that means development around libcamera should at least target a released version of libcamera, so the version in Jammy is probably is unusable. Moreover, in Ubuntu repositories, libcamera is only used by pipewire but only since Lunar. It is more likely that this bug won't be fixed in Jammy. You should consider another way to get a more recent libcamera.
