Looks like an oversight.

We just decided to suppress all these IDs since we end up doubting
about them. And you can do the same in the Debian package.

The consequences are as follow:

The bug will disappear, for sure, as 0x04da, 0x2372 is no longer dealt
with by the udev scripts.

If there is really a PTP camera with these ideas, it will be recognized
by the generic match all rule for this class of device, without any loss
of functionality.

I'd put that fix into an update for lenny.
