You can try putting the debian directory from the source package
(apt-get source gphoto2) in the snapshot source, adding a new entry to
debian/changelog and maybe changing other files in there which are
somehow version specific and then building with debuild or
dpkg-buildpackage. If there's a problem, you'll likely have to modify
other files like debian/rules (nice pun eh? :) and debian/control and
maybe others.
