I also had to edit a couple of lines in the following files in the 
debian directory:

in libgphoto2-2-dev.files add ,usbscsi,usbdiskdirect

usr/lib/libgphoto2_port/*/{serial,usb,disk,ptpip,usbscsi,usbdiskdirect}.{la,a}

in libgphoto2-port0.files add ,usbscsi,usbdiskdirect

usr/lib/libgphoto2_port/*/{serial,usb,disk,ptpip,usbscsi,usbdiskdirect}.so
