Hi,

thanks for the comments. If I got this right, there won't be a default
name that would fit most systems as of Stretch and later.

A userfriedly approach would be to look for a device with PTP support
and use this, or supply a debconf request with devices that can be
used. I'll try to incorporate this. My debconf foo is limited. though,
so this might take a while.
