libgphoto2 is now maintained by the photo tools team (in CC), and I am
pretty much inactive those days, the best solution would be to file a
bug against libgphoto2 so the issue can be tracked appropriately.

However I had a quick look and this camera has already been added to
libgphoto2 (in r11260, August 2008) and is thus part of all packages
since 2.4.3.  Lenny shipped with 2.4.1, I don't know if any backport
are planned.
