If it reports as a Debian-native package, you probably need to check how
the package versions are written in debian/changelog.
Incidentally, why is the source package called 'gphoto2'? I see that
there is still a 'gphoto' package in Debian; is that not superseded by
gphoto 2.0? Are there reasons that someone would need both gphoto and
gphoto2 installed on their system, or why some people need one and
others need the other?

You probably are missing a call to dh_shlibdeps somewhere above the call
to dh_gencontrol.
