I will have a look.

No gphoto and gphoto2 are really different and both should be available.
gphoto is a all-in-one package to provide gui access to a digital
camera.
gphoto2 is a library which is used by frontend (gui). A command-line
frontend is included in the package but others are available.
And a few cameras are (and will certainly stay) only supported by
gphoto.
