Ok, it was a while I didn't use my camera via PTP, so this completely slipped
off my radar ("mass storage"++ :D).
I'm not sure what can cause it, but at least I can reproduce the same problem
on my system. I'll try to find a solution, and fix the package/post it here.

Just one more information from you: can you please say what vendorid+productid
your camera is? You can find it from lsusb (it's the two strings "ID:
xxxx:yyyy"), or from dmesg when you attach your camera to the computer.

Kindly,
David
