Yes, I'm on ceres (should have specified it, sorry). However, I should
be able to see the package and at least attempt its installation from
jessie, but this is not the case:

----
root@corwin:~# apt-get install libgphoto2-port10/jessie
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Release 'jessie' for 'libgphoto2-port10' was not found
root@corwin:~# apt-cache search libgphoto2-port10
root@corwin:~# apt-cache show libgphoto2-port10
N: Can't select versions from package 'libgphoto2-port10' as it is
purely virtual
N: No packages found
----

Perplexity ensues. Probably rebuilding is the easiest thing.
