Martin, Tormod; Sorry to take so long to reply, I've been travelling.
Does it work in edgy? Yes, in fact I am now using Edgy. Is it like bug #69156? No, there are error messages reported in that bug. I don't have Dapper around now so I'm going from memory, but there were no error messages. libgphoto2 or wherever the list of devices is was just to old to have a Nikon D70s in it, so it recognized it as a generic PTP camera. In contrast, the current version in edgy recognizes it as a D70s. The edgy libgphot2 seems to have issues with PTP? Not for me so far (touching wood). We will not do such intrusive changes for stable releases? I completely understand that philosophy and I don't wish to argue with it. However, if memory serves, there are for instance several versions of GCC available in 6.06 apt, several versions of PostgreSQL, and I'm sure other examples. Would it be too much to support another newer version of gphoto2? I'm asking this more as a community service question now, since I'm still OK with edgy. The important point here is that, no matter how well an old version of gphoto2 works, there are at least several hundred new digital cameras out there that it doesn't support that are now on the market. This is probably almost a problem with the gphoto2 architecture itself; the support for new cameras should probably be decoupled from new releases of the system, but as far as I can tell it isn't.
