This means it impossible to fix it in gphoto "only with an udev rule".
As discussed on irc with Marco some minutes ago, it is still possible
to address with a hotplut.d script plus and udev rule.

Which is not the best thing for our users, of course. Frederic, Marco
has stated several times (on e.g. -devel) that he's willing to help
maintainers to make their transitions. For the benefit of our users,
would you be willing to take on his offer and fix libgphoto2 to work
with udev >= 0.70-3 and a kernel << 2.6.14?
If not, would you accept patches?
Cheers,

Testing can show the presence of bugs, but not their absence.
