Hi,

Debian oldstable (buster) indeed shipped with v2.5.22, but the current
stable (bullseye) sports v2.5.27.  Your best bet would be upgrading your
OS, if possible (I don't know the level of Raspberry PI support).

The libgphoto2 Debian package has a pretty standard build procedure, but
you probably lack the build environment for that.

It's actively maintained in Debian, but you apparently use the version
released in buster.
